Anti-oxidant, isn't it? You want oxidation to cure the oil.


Unchararcteristic of you, George.

No worries about the antioxidants keeping the oil from curing, unless
of course the tocopherols stop the free radicals from aging the oil in
a destructive manner.

The tocopherals found in natural curing vitamin E are a water soluble
esterized oil found in many nuts, olive, soybeans, and some other
plants. Synthetic viatmin E (most likely in this oil) is found in the
labs of manufacturer, and although almost worthless in the eyes of
many researchers as a health supplement or treatment, is still water
soluble.

The vitamin E shouldn' hurt a thing in regards to an oil finish.

It will NOT be the same as the Mahoney oil, though.
