Just inquiring to see if any of you have Some of the early Victor 12" Record
boxes that came with the Victor L Door VTLA ? I am in need of 3 of the 12 "
Boxes (each box was designed to hold 15 records) to complete the interior
storage area of my VTLA. I would prefer the later lettered boxes (bes
yes, I never found the odor particularly offensive or long lived. This
entire process is done with very little boiled linseed oil in a lot of
turpentine.
The Turpenoid Odorless is one of these:

The odor actually smells like 'old phonograph' so my wife puts a dab behind
each ear when she wants some attention.
I need give this tip to my wife as well.

The 'odorless' turpentine is a petroleum derivative. When I am making my
secret recipe belt dressing to keep a new leather belt from slipping and
protect it for the next 100 years, I use real turpentine as the carrier
solvent. The odor actually smells like 'old phonograph' so my wife puts a d
It functions the same way as a thinner but it is not turpentine.

What about just hot linseed oil? Linseed oil heated in a pan on a stove and
then carefully (so you don't burn your fingers) applied? I've used this to
finish furniture with good results.

I would be looking up the MSDS for whatever thinner you would like to
use. The idea is to thin the boiled linseed oil to the point it
penetrates into the wood and once the solvent vaporizes the remaining
oil will oxidize to a solid.

Boiled linseed oil and real turpentine if not slathered on like mayo on
a roll will penetrate and the turps will vaporize in a couple of days.
There is not much else that will work to get the linseed oil into the
wood as turpentine is produced from the wood. You could experiment with
DMSO as if
Would "white spirit", which is made in a nearly-odorless form, work with boiled
linseed oil in a less stinking way than turpentine and seal wood effectively?

This does read rather as damage to the instrument, once treated, would occur if
