Hoosierdaddy Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Found a can of this stuff in the shop where I teach.. On that other message board that only now sporatically works I remember someone mentioning that they use boiled Linseed oil as a sealer for their baits. Is there anyone over here that uses it... can I still paint over it with acrylic paints? Does anyone have any pointers as the can I have has no instructions?

out2llunge Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I would experiment with it on some scrap wood. I know it's stinky stuff so make sure you have an open window to allow air to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoya Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I have used boiled linseed oil in the past on some of my carvings. I have found that it takes a couple of days or more for it to dry. I have been told that you need to be careful when using it and to properly dispose of any rags that you use with it. It has a reputation for spontaneous combustion. Personally, I would find something else to use that wouldn't be as dangerous. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
