Hi Trevor & all

I have never noticed it myself, but I should add that much of the linseed
oil that I used to apply to hive boxes was diluted to a variable extent with
solvents that had been used in washing out spray guns (from another part of
the factory). The solvent allowed faster, (and I think deeper) penetration,
but then evaporated... So the surface was never wet for very long.

I have no experiance of 'deliberately' sealing concrete, but I spilt a
gallon of linseed on a concrete floor once and it seemed to amalgamate with
the concrete and make it harder.
