<< Seems to me I read about such a mixture.
Prehaps 2 parts Boiled Lindseed Oil
1 part Turpentine
I myself have not used this, but interested if anyone has.
Thank you.

My understanding is that this is basically a slow-drying varnish. Raw linseed
oil never dries, but heat-treating it in a certain way ("boiling") causes its
molecules to cross-link and harden as it dries. The turpentine acts as a
diluent, to make it soak in better.
