Well, I'm not Doug, but I interpreted it as equivalent of "The
substance
commercially sold as 'lemon oil' is actually just lemon-flavored
mineral
oil". Not sure if that's what you meant, but that's what I read it
as.
Sounded like you were making a global statement about all things sold
as
"lemon oil".

You're correct about my meaning. As far as "global", no. I was only
commenting on the 3 products I ran across in stores, which included the
one
I finally bought.

OK, so what you said wasn't what you meant. Got it.

Miller probably thought I meant that lemon oil, when first extracted
from
lemons, contained mineral oil. Miller's funny that way.

What's "funny", is that even though someone else has now agreed that
your wording isn't what you meant, you blame your failure to write
clearly on Doug.

There have to be some assumptions made in any discussion, or it would
take
years to discuss most anything. I assume that most people who mentioned
lemon oil in this thread were referring to modified products sold in
stores,
not pure, unadulterated lemon oil.

So it _is_ a global statement. You are saying that the substance sold
for wood treatment, called "lemon oil", is in fact not oil of lemon, but
is in fact lemon-flavored mineral oil. Yes?


No, it's related to the products I found. I haven't found pure lemon oil.
And, ****IN MY OPINION***, I think others in this discussion were also
referring to typical products found in grocery stores, Home Depot,
woodworking stores, etc.
