finishes

[hen]

i do a lot of furniture both indoor and outdoor, after sanding i usually put a coat
of boiled linseed oil until it stops absorbing it. them add 2 or 3 coats of sanding
sealer on it. i was wondering if there was a cheaper way of doing this but with
the same results. sanding sealer is pretty expensive here! i was told by a man
at a recent festival to try bees wax. any and all advise is appriciated!

thanks,hen

I think putting sanding sealer over BLO is a waste of time and from what I gather sanding sealer isnt a final finish. Sanding sealer is used before you apply a finish (polyurethane, lacquer, etc.)

I would just use BLO and apply a good quality wax. Someone here should be able to recommend one.
