I was thinking of using the already tinted BLO once I get my hands on the canal stuff.
Will also slightly modify by using some liquid carnauba I have in an increased proportion. Experiment I must.

Do not add red oil to the finishing oil. It is a two stage process.
First, colour the stock with as many applications of red oil as necessary.
Second, apply the finishing oil to seal the grain and produce a surface 'finish'. This needs to applied and rubbed off in thin layers for several weeks.

I finally found Venice Turpentine. It is made by Shiva. However, I see that it is called "imitation" Venice Turpentine. Will this be satisfactory for slacum oil?

FYI:
"Venice Turpentine
Genuine Venice turpentine is collected from larch trees. It is a viscous liquid resin; such resins exude from certain trees and are often referred to as balsams. Venice turpentine has been used in painting for centuries and has excellent handling and aging characteristics. It should not be confused with the thinners gum turpentine or rectified turpentine. Venice turpentine is used as an additive to thicken other media. This resin is popular because it gives body to the paint film while maintaining gloss and brilliance, and it yellows very little over time. Genuine Venice turpentine is not easily found and some companies are using a substitute resin called Canada balsam. Canada balsam has two advantages over Venice turpentine-it dries more clearly and it takes only one or two hours to dry, as opposed to three days for Venice turpentine. However, Canada balsam has a distinct disadvantage in that it is more fluid than Venice turpentine."
Originally only exported from Venice, hence its name. Some now produced in Switzerland.
Several art supply stores carry it. Google for it and you'll get multiple hits.

Will visit an art supply store instead of the hippodrome.

I just spoke with the manufacturer. They use the word "imitation" as a disclaimer because the product is not truly from the region of Venice. They claim it is the same product from larch trees just not larch trees located in Venice. It is thick and honey colored as Venice turpentine is supposed to be from what I've read. I'll give it a try.
