Boiled Linseed Oil
"BLO" can also stand for "Boiled Linseed Oil". Quote: >>Boiled Linseed Oil (BLO) is a common item (...) in a lot of woodworker’s shops. It is a great oil treatment for woods, leaving a smooth touch on the surface. It revitalizes old dried wood and gives it a new life. BLO is often mixed with other finishes and was once one of the main ingredients in most paints. (...) Boiled Linseed Oil is not actually “boiled” like the name suggests, rather, it is chemically modified to encourage faster drying. Slow drying oils are a good thing, but regular linseed oil can take weeks or even months to fully cure in cold weather and that’s just too stinking long. Boiled Linseed Oil will dry in only a few days give or take depending on weather.<< Source: https://thecraftsmanblog.com/how-to-use-boiled-linseed-oil-safely/ - Riggenbach (talk) 20:41, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
