      I thought the " swims like a fish " was maybe referring to this :-

                Got to disagree with you here, all the cues i have oiled look bleeding gorgeous when wet, but always dry matt and then need buffing like crazy to get any sort of a shine on them

                    All the cues I've ever oiled with linseed have dried to a light gloss, only ended up with a matt finish from Pure Tung and Danish oil. Boiled linseed which I've only recently experimented with has given me a light gloss which needs more buffing to get a nice shine, raw though has always given a gloss finish that polishes up like glass

                          I'm not talking Mike Wooldridge ultrashine lol, just a light gloss, still needs to be buffed to get a high shine

                            that's why you can't get a finish. raw linseed should never be used as a finish.

                            google it and you'll find thousands of threads from instrument building to boat building and all sorts that all say the same. boiled linseed should be used, not raw, if trying to actually create a finish.

                              That's why I mix raw linseed with pure tung oil for my finish. From your suggestion I've been experimenting with boiled linseed, apart from the vomit inducing odour it works quite well lol

                                I have read on here many times that boiled shouldn't be used ??
