Wow, more than I ever needed to know   BUT just what I wanted to know. 
Among my leftovers I found an unopened 5 gallon container of boiled linseed 
oil,  and my project for this week is to make some open shelves under my 
outdoor work bench.   I intend to make them as slats so the water can drain 
through.   will give the LO a try.
