insecticide, termiticide. As well as a necessary mineral to our health and well
being along with calcium and magnesium, and other minerals. I found that borate
in using it as an insecticide cured my arthritis. So when I found that I had
prostate cancer, I researched on the internet and found that it was an element
that would help control cancer. I was being treated at the VA Hospital in <st1:City

that the PSA was reduced 5 times faster with Tri-Boron that I bought at a health
food store, than without the boron. I continue to take it but at every other
day rather than every day. The doctors were surprised to find that the Borate
did not show up in my blood tests. I have taken the prescribed cancer
medication and will continue to do so. Boron is a salt and will dry out your

<br>
I've never used Tung Oil myself, but talking recently with another woodworker
who uses it a lot he explained that you need to build up multiple layers of TO
to get the shiny finish, (up to seven layers on wood) and once you do, it is
very tough and resilient.<br>
<br>
It is only matte as long as it is being absorbed. Once it has sealed, any
additional layers oxidize on the surface and can be highly polished.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Steve.<br>

I'm interested in your experience with mixing tung oil, citrus solvent and
linseed oil for floors. My experience is that linseed leaves more of a shinny
coating which sort of replicates typical varnish. Does anyone have suggestions
on floor applications? Just tung and citrus? Or is putting a little linseed
better?<br>
