So Steven, As you can see, there are many ways to do things. When I teach New scrollers, I always say " this is what works for me". So sort through all this information and get scrolling!

Carlton,  I use oil on my puzzle pieces and only spray them when they are painted to seal in the paint.  I use a wax over the oil to help keep the pieces slick against each other.

Jimbo,  I tried to mix the lineseed and "turps" to 50/50 and I think your right.
It works out well.
I was always afraid that there wasn't enough oil but the result is great.
I guess I saw the oil as paint and if you thin that to much it isn't good.
so 50/50 for me  ;)

thanks
Marcel
