A recipe for restoring wicker calls for boiled linseed oil and turpentine. Can I use paint thinner instead?

Question

I am restoring my old wicker and rattan chairs. A recipe calls for 1/3 turpentine and 2/3 boiled linseed oil. I have paint thinner and want to know if I can use that instead of turps.

Answer 1

i don't  see why not.test a little area on one of the chaires first see what happens but i think the paint thinner will do the job it might take longer but it will work.
