Best Answer

No. Oil and water don't mix.

--

Oil and water can be mixed. Emulsify it. You would need to mix in the oil slowly while stirring with an electric mixer. You would need to use a large enough quantity of paint for the mixer to be submerged.

What is a good substitute for minwax wood conditioner?

Purchase "natural" color in the oil stain line. This is clear oil without any colorant. Thin this down with mineral spirits about 50/50. The idea is to flood this on the surface first and wipe it off. Then apply your colored wood stain. Since the wood is somewhat filled up with the natural oil, the penetration of the colored stain will be more even. An even less expensive way to make this is to substitute "boiled linseed oil" for the natural stain in the mix. Here I would go with a mix of at least 2 parts mineral spirits to 1 part linseed oil, since the linseed oil is heavier to start with. The trade-off using this "conditioner" is that you are not going to get as strong a color overall on the piece.

Can linseed oil be used to seal concrete?

Linseed oil is a traditional PRESERVATIVE and has been used for centuries for concrete, masonry, wood and metal. You would mix it 1 parts linseed to 2 parts turpentine (not mineral spirits), but the mixture would vary. You want to used boiled linseed oil, not raw linseed oil (check the label). Note this is not a SEALANT but a preservative- if you are doing your garage or basement floor, try something else! Also be careful- the tools and rags you use can spontaneously combust (i.e.: burst into flame, no kidding!) when being used with linseed oil. Check the Wikipedia page for details under "Linseed Oil"
