Once mixed (which requires warming), the version I use doesn't separate, which I find kind of surprising. I like the smell of spike much more than turps, although my wife can't stand either.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9074','David'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9074','David','Matthew,\r\n\r\nI haven\'t tried it with turps.

I'm using turpentine instead of the spike though. One thing I've noticed is that it loves to separate in the jar I keep it in. Warming it in a hot water bath (just from the tap) and vigorous shaking fixes it though.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9073','Matthew'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9073','Matthew','I\'ve just started using something similar, it is wonderful.
