Hello,I have treated a oak table with linseed oil + turpentine 50/50 % , and after 24 hours with linseed oil 100%. But that's absolutely not water resistant. May I now use the Bioshield Hard Oil #9 on this first treatment to get finally a much more (a good) water resistant treatment ? If not, what do you advice ?

Our Bioshield Hard Oil #9 is an excellent water repellent. However, it must be applied on a clean dry surface that has been freshly sanded. It needs to absorb deep into the wood and seal from inside. However, the existence of the linseed oil and turpentine will prevent that from happening which is why they both must be removed via sanding before the Hard Oil #9 can be applied.
