Linseed oil raw application instructions (HELP PLEASE)

[Brainy_89]

evening guys recently bought linseed oil raw after being told it would protect my cue ect.......

iv applied one coat on it about hour or so ago said 15-20 minutes then take excess off but wouldnt it be better if i lefted it on over night and wiped the rest off in the morning

Best to take most of it off and just leave a very very light coating on overnight, otherwise it will get very sticky and a nightmare to remove

Its the first time using it hence why i asked iv just wiped most of it off now and left a very light coat on to dry how long roughly would it take to dry completely?

my next match isnt untill sunday evening anyway but usually practise during day buy wont be playing till about sunday morning/afternoon

Probably depends how dry your cue was, some people never put oil on at all, it's best to do it lightly, don't really wait for it to dry, just give it a good buffing

Do it now if i were you, you may not like the feeling it gives, and can add more tomoz if you want and buff it again

What cue is it?

I assume it was not varnished finished before you applied the oil?

That will leave a sticky mess.
