It feels like the whole neighborhood smells like turpentine. I heard a jogger exclaim, "What's that smell, someone must be cleaning something." I guess it smells like pine sol. I do believe it looks pretty good. They still feel a little oily and they are starting to lighten up a bit. When I first applied a mixture of 50/50 linseed oil and turpentine, they appeared almost orange. And they soaked the stuff up like a sponge. I have read that the linseed oil is like food for mold and mildew but some guys have been doing this recipe their whole life with no problems. At least I feel better about them not drying out so bad and the look isn't too bad either.
