While spending some time on the internet, I came across several discussions about BLO. The pros and cons. They addressed the issue of solvents and chemical driers added to make the BLO and how it has a negative effect on wooden surfaces and skin...darkening, mold, dangerous to skin over time, etc...so I searched and found a few 100% pure, no chemicals or solvent BLO's, but they were expensive! So I was wondering...what do you guys use? Regular big box store brands, make your own? or is it just talk and is really a non-issue....???
