   Thanks for the reply. It dried. Would if help or make any difference at all if I put on a "fresh" coat with new BLO tomorrow?  -Jack

   No don't recoat.  You didn't say how long it's been dried for ?  If you just recently applied the BLO - you can take a soft cloth lightly dampened with mineral spirits and wipe the surface.  Otherwise if it's been dry a while already - just let it alone for a week.  Consider a top coat of  wiping varnish for a harder finish - not more BLO.

   Thanks so much. I applied it this morning and it was dry to the touch within an hour or two. It's on a pine stool inspired by Christian Becksvoort's article in the current FWW, so I need a hard finish.    -Jack

   what do you

   mean by flow. one does not flow blo on. one just applies it ,let it sit for a few minutes and wipe it dry except fo open grain wood where one should come back every few hours fo awhile and wipe it again  as it will bleed from the open pores
