What are mineral spirits and boiled linseed oil, and how are they used? How about rottenstone and pumice?
Mineral spirits are used to thin or clean up oil-based paints, stains and finishes. They also can be used to remove wax buildup on furniture and floors. Boiled linseed oil is a yellowish drying oil that serves as a lubricant. (Do not boil linseed oil: it has already been boiled.) Both of these materials can be found in the paint section at Lowe’s, Home Depot and other home centers.
