Can I use mineral oil to revive glazing putty which has started to dry
out (but not completely set)?

It seems to work, as in a few drops gets things back to the right
consistency - but I think it's linseed oil that I've heard recommended
for this before, and I'm not sure if mineral oil will cause problems
later on (assuming it allows the putty to harden at all)

When I were a lad 'twas always linseed.
