Raw Linseed Oil is 100% pure, non-edible and slow-drying. Raw Linseed Oil helps wood retain its natural moisture content which retards cracking, checking, shrinking, and aids water repellency. Boiled Linseed Oil contains driers to speed film drying and hardness. Linseed oil without this additive can take over a week to dry. Enhances brushing and leveling when added to oil based paints. Linseed Oil is a yellowish oil extracted from the seeds of flax and used as a drying oil in paints and varnishes and in linoleum, printing inks, and synthetic resin.

Comments about Recochem Linseed Oil:

No one locally sells Raw Linseed oil around here. They only carry 'boiled' product that has added dryers in it. I use one part Raw linseed to 2 parts thinner to touch up military firearms. At least 10 coats with a rub of steel wool (0000) between coats. Gives the wood a nice old time look without hurting the valve of the firearm. Finish off by using 'gunny paste' which is a mixture of bee's wax / linseed oil / turpentine.

Raw linseed oil is not available locally. I was pleased to be able to add it to a list of items I needed for my new rowboat. This is a great product for treating new plywood.

I used this to paint the roosts and boxes in my henhouse, to smother mites. The raw oil did not harm the birds and despite warnings it dried in one day. Also this product arrived more quickly than anything I've ever ordered over the internet.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Recochem Linseed Oil:

I use this product mainly in my brush keeper using a mixture of 60/40 linseed/paint thinner. Keeps the brushes fresh for about 6 months or more. This product is hard to find here in Ohio so I opted to find it on the net. Jamestown Dist is a great place to shop for supplies..Too bad the VOC laws will kill the trades use of oils come January of 09.
