Nik Kyklo Report post Posted September 16, 2018 I use the Refined Linseed oil from winsor & newton. (http://www.winsornewton.com/uk/shop/oils-solvents-mediums-and-varnishes/oil-colour/oils/refined-linseed-oil-2-53-us-fl-oz-75ml-bottle-3021748) It works very well both on violins and bows. Guitar makers in my place use a lot this type of oil for the Guitar finishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does not dry slow (my personal experiacne). The "Add to other oils to slow drying" refers to the counteraction with other elements on drawing.
