I put this here because I am doing a walnut knife handle and not a gunstock but I am using a CCL oil finishing kit and was wondering about the oil "hardener". The kit contains three bottles:
1. Cleaning and polishing compound - this looks to be a milr rubbing compound of some type
2. Red root oil - I am thinking bioled linseed oint with alkanet root
3. Oil harderner - it semlls a bit like turpentine or paint thinner
Basically you rub in a few coats of oil - letting it soak in for 24 hours between - then the same with the oil harderner - then let it harden a few days - rub it down with the polish - then apply coats of oil and hardener together
So what is the hardener and how does it harden the oil?
