Hi all,

I made a finish from a recipe of 2 parts linseed, 1 part turpintine, 3
tablespoons japan drier, and about 4 tablespoons of beeswax.

My problem is that my piece is still really tacky in some places and oily in
others.  It has been approximately 24 hours.  Did I get the recipe wrong or
will it just take much longer to dry?  What can do if it stays sticky to
make it dry out or thin out??

Thanks,

Mata
