[Cob] Re: Question regarding boiled linseed oil

[Amanda Peck]

I did my sample backwards, haven't gotten to the floor yet.  but I think it 
WAS backwards--i.e., heavy solvent first is NOT the way to go.

But by the time I was putting pure linseed oil down the sample looked like 
it had a shiny coating on it.  The sample sat out in the rain for nine 
months before I looked at it again, and it still did.

     I am doing my first earth floor. I have put down my first layer of

linseed oil and it has been down for a week. Small dry patches are starting
to show, but 90% of the floor still looks wet.
     Is this normal? It feels dry to the touch. Can I go ahead and put the
next layer of 50% linseed and 50% solvent or should I wait till the entire 
floor
changes to the lighter color?
