How does Linseed Oil work
When linseed oil is applied to a porous surface it fills the pores and as it is exposed to the air it gels to form a protective film. The film is generally impervious to water, heat, scratches and most stains.
NOTE: Soak rags in water as spontaneous ignition may occur on drying. Dispose of rags by controlled incineration or at an approved landfill.
