First SOF - Stonefly

Recommended Posts

I really like the color combination of Jeff's Stonefly on the Kudzu Craft website, the stained wood with the antique white skin looks great. I have quite a bit of mahogany stain leftover from some refinish work i did last year on my Chris Craft, I was planning on tinting the linseed oil with a bit of the mahogany stain and painting the skin with Rustoleum since its readily available in my area.

Boiled linseed oil is just about the worst choice possible for any wood project and particularly a boat.  It offers no moisture protection, and requires days and days to reach anything like a cured condition.  It looks great for a while, but there are better choices, such as one of the polymerized versions.  Linspeed and Birchwood Casey's Tru Oil are two, although not in the quantity required for a boat frame.
