PowerPlay 14 Report post Posted August 11, 2011 I have a customer that wants to change from a Medium Brown to a bit lighter brown. I do not currently have light brown ready seal in stock. Would adding more oil or anything lighten it up a bit and be OK. Of course I do not normally do anything with their stain other then put it on. And I wouldn't want to effect the stains performance in a negative way. Linseed Oil?? I dunno? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Tracy Handl 108 Report post Posted August 11, 2011 NOT LINSEED OIL! Take some clear Ready Seal and mix with the Med brown. or lightly strip and use the light brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted August 11, 2011 Nathan, Mixing linseed oil into Ready Seal is like putting cheap, no name 87 octane gas into a top fuel dragster. 50/50 mix of Ready Seal med. brown and Ready Seal clear is the ticket. Call Tom of ACR Products in the morning and the RS clear will be on its way pronto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 James 625 Report post Posted August 12, 2011 I have done it many times with better results than AC. I use boiled and add some mold protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamond Jim, Aside from the additional mildewcide that is obviously required, do you also need to add a bit of Japan dryer to help cure the boiled linseed oil?
