I was thinking it might do the job well/ acceptably is all- its a recipe I make a lot so theres always some kicking aboutJust basically lazy I guess but I think it helps me learn how different 'ingredients' behave if I try to mix them up into new things... and the cost of the Barbours dressing is added incentive

Well it won't......white spirit is for cleaning paint brushes & thinning paint, unless you want to transform your cotton items into rags keep the w.s. well away from them
Sorry to say that home made oilskin dressings don't work a well as manufactured ones but if you don't care about the garments then give it a shot............Originally they were coated in linseed oil (which has certain disavantages ) until a new dressing was developed in the 30's......which is more or less the same formula used today......
& NEVER throw white spirit down the sink.
