I'm using boiled linseed oil for the first time as a finish on a hull I am building. The planking is walnut. I was wondering if there is any sanding or finishing that needs to be done between coats. It says to let each coat dry 24 hours so I have applied the first coat yesterday and am ready to do the second coat. is any sanding or the like necessary before applying the second and third coat?
 
I've never used it on a model but on furniture you would let it dry them lightly sand with the highest grit you used before applying the first coat.
