Hi all.
I just bought a 5 gal container of Sunnyside BLO. Upon opening the can I found it had quite an unfamiliar smell. I've been using BLO for going on 30 years and have always enjoyed the nutty smell. This stuff smells absolutely nothing like that. It smells like...maybe cat food. The materials safety sheet says it contains cobalt magnesium salts, which I understand is the dryer agent. Anybody ever use this stuff or have any insights as to whether this is an attempt at a low odor BLO? When I use BLO, my shop tends to smell like BLO for a while afterwards. Don't know if I can stomach this stuff.
Thanks.
Jim
