[QUOTE="taharris, post: 431237, member: 2074"] It's best to use an oil that will cure. I think BLO is one that will cure, so it may be fine, but I don't have any experience with it. Mineral oil will not cure and may sweat out when the pipe gets hot. Olive oil will not cure and may turn rancid. I recommend sanding the pipe down and finishing with a light coat of thinned polymerized tongue oil. It will smell funny for a little while until the oil cures but after it cures you will have a nice matte finish that you can buff if you want. Good luck. Todd [/QUOTE]
