    whaaat I love the smell of linseed oil.

    Boiled linseed oil for me. Odor not an issue, after it dries it's negligible. I've refinished a number of firearm stocks with it as well as paddles & trim on my canoes. I use bare fingers & palm of my hand to rub on a very thin coat that doesn't require wiping off later. Many thin coats applied in that way results in a nice sheen & moisture proofs the wood.

      Raw linseed oil is food safe. Boiled linseed oil is not since it’s typically treated with metal oxides which can be toxic.

    You can add as many coats of these oils as you want. I usually go with 3 separate by 24 hours.

      Boiled linseed oil can be used. Once it has cured there is no harm.

    How long does it take to fully dry? I found mine still had some oily residues after wiping it off and leaving for 24hrs

    • @squigglyline2813

      Tung takes forever to dry, 3 weeks to dry, 3 months to cure. Japan Drier will help.
      Boiled Linseed Oil will dry much faster, to be safe I'd say 72 hours. But won't waterproof like Tung will.

    These videos should include a caution of what to do with the rug when you finish with it, my son, just lost his garage, two cars in the apartment about that because the rugs were in the garage and combusted on our own. Caution

      ​@@marmitaa8619 It's not unheard of for this to happen. Oftentimes people leave rags bunched up after they are finished, or placed in a pile. Unfortunately the oils used in woodworking oxidize, and the heat produced in this reaction can cause spontaneous combustion if it cannot escape from the rags. Linseed oil is a popular culprit for this. You can google it if you don't believe me, there are many such cases.

      @@marmitaa8619 you should look it up, it's actually true. Most of the containers have a warning on them. As they dry and go through their chemical change it's exothermic and a crumpled rag can get so hot it will burst into flames.

      I’ve witnessed this with rags, but never with rugs. The rag (linseed oil) started smoking, it was outdoors, on a concrete walkway in the shade. Never did catch fire though but definitely an eye opener. Now I just burn them when in done with ‘em.

    Neither! Triton from DiTEC. Not an oil so it keeps my wood surfaces looking natural and doesn’t attract more grime like oil does. Super hydrophobic too
