    Default Storing boiled linseed oil blends

    Will blends of boiled linseed oil and turps and/or polyurethane keep in a bottle or is it best to blend and use immediately?

    I've been keeping mine in sealed coffee jars, and I haven't noticed any deterioration over 6 months.

    No reason why turps/ linseed oil mix will not keep indefinitely so long as airtight. doubtful about polyurethane/ linseed longer than 12mths.

    I don't drink coffee, but have used an empty mouthwash bottle to good effect. Holds about 250ml.

    As long as I don't gargle it, should be OK.
