Most all of the old traditional finishes have other materials in them…. There are recipes after recipes depending on who you want to believe. I have found adding Japan drier does help but it all comes down to ratios, you have to play with the volumes to your liking. Raw turpentine also helps, again you have to play with it to get what you want. Lastly Carnauba wax adds hardness to the mix…. If you want color you need Akanet root ….. there is no quick answer it takes some experimenting. There is a commercial product called rapid oil that also does a nice job …. It’s a deep rabbit hole… good luck
