Hardly!

It's often a case that I don't know the exact answer, but I know where to look to find it. Knowing how to use a search engine effectively helps too.

And ... some things I just happen to know For instance ... linoleum is no secret what it's made of. Some years ago when I owned my own house, I wanted to redo the kitchen and bath, and considered linoleum flooring over vinyl .. because linoleum is biodegradable, and more environmentally friendly. I took the easy way out and sold the house instead

When I was a kid in school, we made soap and candles out of tallow and blobs of fat, to learn how the pioneers lived way back when. Did it ever stink, yuk!!! And I do oil painting, so I know the properties of oxidized linseed oil.
