Welcome! / Forums / General Woodworking Discussions / Finishing / BLO Failure
It’s been 30 years since I’ve done any woodworking. I’m retired now and decided to start back. I haven’t got the shop up yet so my first project was a simple walking stick. I put the first coat of BLO on last night but forgot proper handling of the rags and woke up early am to a horrible smell. Luckily got to the rags before they combusted, have them rinsed and drying now. But the smell in the house is strong and my wife says she’s not coming back in til gone.
Amy ideas on air out time for a 2000sf home? All windows and doors are open, but two hours now and no change. The smell isn’t from the stick. It’s been outside the whole time. Thanks in advance.
