Japan Dryer. It is an additive to aid speed the drying of oils.

Another note about linseed oil, a tual artists linseed oil is much better than the stuff sold at the home centers.

Well, I did use BLO at first, but never seemed to get good consistent results. cleaned the wood, and started over using 3in1 oil, and started getting a much better finish. I don't think Renaissance Wax or Maguire's uses alcohol in the mix. But I am guilty of not giving the finish enough time to dry, thinking shellac dried almost instantly. As I said, the longest I let it set was a couple of days before waxing. Thanks for all the help.
