Hank,

I am sorry it didn't work out for you. I am wondering why it hasn't fully cured/hardened/dried. When I have put it over painted surfaces it has dried for me, although I did heat the oil to 140F. The clear coat over the painted surfaces sounds promising.

One question-did you get the raw linseed oil or the boiled? The cold press raw linseed is thinner in its structure, becomes thicker as it is boiled.

I really feel pretty bad about this.
