If I put down standard poly is there a non-toxic oil that could be used to hide scratches? Or is there a non-toxic oil I could use on the whole floor as an alternative to poly? I had a small section that I refinished with BLO, but the darn dog licks the floor, and BLO is toxic. Thanks. What is BLO? |

It is a term used when they add driers and/or other chemicals. Or when the oil is boiled (heated). -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

It is a term used when they add driers and/or other chemicals. linseed oil is edible. it's the driers that make it inedible. from wikipedia: Boiled linseed oil Boiled linseed oil is used as a paint binder or as a wood finish on its own. Heating the oil causes it to polymerize and oxidize, making it thicker and shortening its drying time. Today, most products labeled as "boiled linseed oil" are a combination of raw linseed oil, petroleum-based solvent, and metallic dryers (catalysts to accelerate drying). The use of metallic dryers makes boiled linseed oil inedible. Some products contain only heat-treated linseed oil, without exposure to oxygen. Heat-treated linseed oil is thicker and dries very slowly. This grade of linseed oil is usually labeled as "polymerized" or "stand" oil, though some types may still be labeled as "boiled". |
