Expert: Jamie Yocono - 10/24/2009
Question
Hi,
I have a can of danish oil that has solidified over time.....is there any point in trying to liquify it? If
it is possible, do you have any suggestions?
Answer
Rosemary,
When danish oil drys out, it pretty much turns to a solid/gel state.
I have not found a way to fix it - although when I have a spot of oil on wood that has hardened up a bit, a little fresh oil usually dissolves it. You might want to get a fresh can of oil, and to mix a teaspoon of gel with a teaspoon of fresh oil, to see if it might possibly soften the hardened oil.
It's worth a try, at least. I think it depends on how solidified the older oil is.
Good luck, hope this helps,
Jamie Yocono
