Over-oiling

In Response To: Greenland paddle weights (was hollow core) (Greg Stamer)

One mistake I made is to over oil a favorite paddle (boiled linseed & thinner) a little too much. I increased the weight a noticable bit. I think one thin coat is all you need for many years. I never seen a paddle rot.
