French Polish Problem

[Kensal Rise]

You can spend $35 for 2 oz. of stock finish that turns into jelly within three weeks if you want.

However, I find that Pro Custom Oil from Brownells does an excellent job for about half the money, and lasts for at least a year.

French polish? The term "French" should tell you all you need to know...

I am a bit confused, as I get older it seems to happen quite a lot anymore.
I always use Shellac, Alcohol and olive oil for French polishing.
How are Blo and japan driers used in the process?
Am I missing something?
