OIL FINISHES

Most penetrating oil sealers/finishers are combinations of highly
modified natural oil, such as linseed or tung oil, with additives to
improve hardness and drying. Adding wax to oil-finished floor will
afford protection against spills and abrasion, although the
manufacturers of some finishes such as Velvit oil maintain that their
products do not require wax.
a.. ADVANTAGES: Easy to apply and repair (just brush or rub on
another coat). Good durability. Will not crack, craze or peel. Low
luster - popular with installers and users of traditional softwood
flooring. b.. DISADVANTAGES: Not as durable as other finishes. Can
take a long time to completely cure. Surface may collect dust. Can
water-spot. Some finishes require waxing. Strong initial odor.
Combustible.

Very good information.
