Modifying Chambers Traditional Oil Finish to slow drying

Thank you and thanks for the tips.

I have been trying to get a hold of Chambers with a question and can't get an answer so I thought someone here might know. The question is can boiled linseed oil be added to slow down the drying time a little. Here in Colorado it's dry and I'm hurrying to get a coat on in about 15 - 20 minutes but to me that's a rush and it's still starting to get sticky. I'm thinking 1 to 4 or 1 to 3 parts linseed oil to Finish. I think it has linseed in it and it says on the can that it's compatible with most old finishes.

What I did was a few drops in my bare hand and rub till my hand is uncomfortably hot and the stock has another very thin coat. Repeat every day and hang out in the sunshine.

Thanks shorthair. I used that same technique with boiled linseed oil and it worked but with the Chambers finish it seemed to dry too last and I'd have sticky hands.
