I tried this down one side of my 59 fleetside bed & let it cure for a day to make sure it was the look I wanted. I didn't have a quart container to get started so my mix wasn't exactly how y'all made yours. I ended up spilling about 90% of what I mixed up. I decided to keep my used rags and paint brush (for the tight spots). Today I moved the rags into the cab of the truck after hours of tinkering. I went inside for a while & decided to head back outside just before dark to get some serial numbers off of my carburetor & measurements for the tail gate & fuel tank. I kept smelling an awful smell of something burnt. The further I got from my truck the weaker the smell. I checked the battery thinking maybe it was shorting out on something. That wasn't it. After several minutes checking in & around a few other vehicles I decided to check in the cab of the 59 truck. The smell was much stronger & the cab was full of smoke. I realized it was coming from the small rags I had used. After removing them & putting them out it became very obvious to me why she said to rinse the rags out with soap and water before disposing of them. I decided to read the container & sure enough the boiled linseed will generate heat when drying & can spontaneously combust as it did in my situation. I'm glad I was home & able to locate the smell to put out the smoldering rags. Simple mistake on my part that could have been very costly. Just figured it was worth mentioning. Hopefully nobody else makes the same mistake that I did. I am very happy with the look it offers on patina, the preservation of the metal & the affordability. Thank you for the video.
Yo this is extremely important, and should pinned. Oily rags can and will spontaneously combust if left alone. Always dispose of oily rags in a metal container with a lid, preferably at least ten feet away from any structure or vehicle.
@@luisponce1472 boiled linseed oil generates heat as it drys. If you leave it on cloth and the cloth is crumpled it traps that heat and catches fire. Read labels for EVERYTHING. The words aren't decoration.
Will this replenish old brittle plastic? I have a square body suburban that has some sun dried plastic and I'd like to keep as much of the plastic original, instead of spraying it with a raptor liner or something like that
I watched your videos. Watched them again, then again. I have an old f100, went out and spent a few days sanding it down, I went crazy! Cleaned the truck, then did as you say with the BLO and MS! Simply amazing. It went from a nice looking grandpa truck to a bad ass rat rod, all for the price of some sandpaper and BLO!( boiled linseed oil)
Yessir. Great for axe and shovel heads, too, when putting away for the offseason. I melt a little real pine tar in with the linseed oil; gives the handles a tougher look and a little more tack.
I wish I could send you a photo of how of a difference this made on my truck . . it's crazy, it made it look like it has this fancy paint job on it now.... thanks for the video!!!
Not only are those rags flammable but boiled linseed oil is notorious for spontaneous combustion which is why it's so important to get rid of the rags properly and not tossed in the shops trash bin
I have an old school bus in Scotland, and it had the original marine plywood floor, and no rust. I didn't want to rip it up and damage it, so I poured boiled linseed oil and white spirit between wood and metal floor to future proof it. Also painted it on the faded blue fibreglass roof and it sealed it and brought it back to match the body colour. After seeing this, I'm going to paint the undercarriage too! Far cleaner than old engine oil or waxoyl.
Many people use the thickest chain oil they can get under the car. I have only 1 car to keep so I stick to Fluid Film even though it is expensive. Protects and gets a relatively dry surface.
@@bradleygrossman4262- Good question! Rust is porous and will fully absorb any oil you put on it, similar to wood. So the rust is actually helping to keep the oil on the surface of the pure steel beneath, thus preserving it. The oil keeps the oxygen and the water away from the pure steel beneath, so I don't see how it can rust anymore with oil on it. Steel cannot rust without water and oxygen in contact with it. No chemical reaction can occur because the reactive chemicals (iron, water, oxygen) are not all present together if you apply oil. At least that's my theory.... I have not done extensive testing. AND I can't seem to find any solid answers to this question online. Let me know if you find anything.
It’s gotta slow it down! I like the old Wagner spray guns. Throw some old oil in that thing and spray the bottom of your car then find a dirt road on a dry day. Works better than anything else
Also works great as an annual undercoating for vehicles in the rusty states up north. Turpentine is also mixable with boiled linseed oil and helps it dry.
@ “Crafty_Ostrich”…can you do that to a semi-new vehicle? (just to prevent it from future rusting under it). Live in the NorEast part of the country. Thanks if you replay.
I just did my grandpa's 87 f350. It already has a nice patina thanks to fords quality paint process in the 80's. But I want to preserve it until I can get it painted.
oily rags are subject to spontaneous combustion. if you leave them in a pile, and conditions are right, they will get warmer, then hotter until they catch fire due to a chemical reaction. many shops have special air-tight cans to keep this from happening by excluding oxygen. it is not only that the rags are flammable, but they will catch fire by themselves without an external ignition source.
8 months and still looking good, I wash my 52 and its still holding up, used it on my Jeep plastic fenders and its better than store bought plastic dressing, I wonder how it would work as tire dressing
So glad I found this video. I was going to clear coat my motorcycle tank (going for a raw metal look on my 1981 cb750c). This seems like a much better route! Thanks for sharing. Truck looks amazing btw
Thank you guys... I rusted up some corrugated tin for a project that I was working on.... I wanted a bit of a shine over it, so I sprayed them with clear spray paint... well that really didn't do much. Sounds strange, but the metal seemed to drink it up like wood sometimes does. I didn't want to buy another 80 dollars worth of spray. I saw this, bought the stuff, did the do, and BAM!!!! It's perfect.
The safest way of dealing with linseed oil soaked rags is to lay them out flat or drape them over something so they can dry out without building heat in a balled up mass. The ability for linseed oil soaked rags to spontaneously combust is very real and well documented. Never throw fresh oily rags into a container inside a box or trash container without drying them out first.
I'd say it's safe enough if you have the rags in a ventilated area where the heat can escape. No need to be overly cautious if there's just a few small rags as in the vid. Otherwise, if you are concerned, just light them yourself and get it over with the burning.
@@cschlater thats the stupidest reply ever. soak em in water tied up in a plastic bag tight and in the garbage. Many a homeowner have burned down homes and buildings thinking it wasn't too flammable.
Kendall Ulrey Sure. Didn’t mean to offend you, reminding you of your home burning to the ground. You do know there is a major difference between your imagination and the real world? Go back to school and learn some basic fysics.
@@kendallulrey7258 laughing? Because I misspelled a word in a language other than my mother thongue? I know seven different languages. Pick one, and we can have a fine conversation about spelling. Also, I use linseed oil on a daily basis and never once had any incidents with self ignition. Also, I don't have any runnings showing on my commercial paint jobs pictured all over internet.
I've been using BLO for YEARS, long before preserving patina was the in thing. Back when people thought me and my friends were crazy LOL never mixed it with mineral spirits, I just put it on full strength in liberally coat the whole vehicle. Right when I'm done give it a quick rinse with a garden hose, then rub it out with clean microfiber towels.
Thank you so much for this video an this information I just rubbed my coe down an man I tell ya I love it never had a clue about this and looks 27 times better than clear coat and a hell of a lot cheaper thank you so much my friend!
Needed this formula for a 1950 Studebaker pickup I bought in about 1971 - the body made of a very solid grade of steel, but the factory paint had literally washed off on the top of the cab, the hood and tops of the quarter panels, etc. It was the perfect, nearly indestructible truck. Wish I still had it.
I love the thick coat it retains for so long without thinning out and drying easily. I rub it in any dry wood. I treated my sledge hammer handle, now its less likely to crack and it actually looks great.
I guess I never got the whole rust/patina look on a vehicle. Everything that I build coming up with a bad sass paint scheme is one of my favorite parts. I wouldn’t feel like I completed everything! Lol
Tony Wolf i totally agree but money wise for me rn its what i have to do to stop further rust on my 68 bug but when i have more money im going to do a full paint job
Great technique, the big thing is when people throw several mineral spirits rags into a trash bin full of saw dust. The rags when they’re folded over start generating heat and if you have a bunch of them packed into a garbage can with flammable material like saw dust or paper, they can light on fire. If you just let the rags sit out and gas off, you can throw them away without washing them but I wash them anyway and reuse for other stuff.
Awesome. I've heard of this, but never actively looked it up. Your vid just poped up on my suggested. The best 6 min I've spent in a while. I've got a 64 c10 too. This will help me preserve my trucks looks. Thanks.
Thanks for the video and tips! I'm probably buying a 1960 Bel Air with faded original paint and some surface rust and I was very nervous about preserving the finish. I was thinking about clear coating it, but for now I think I'll just do this.
I have used boiled linseed for years on wood and metal but it never occured to me it might be good on the oxidized paint on my ol squarebody. So glad I found this vid that I subscribed to your channel, gonna dig into more of your content now. Thanks and keep em comin
Thanks for the video you took a doubt that I had we do it here in Brazil in beach region but did not know if I could do but now that I saw the video I can do and is with a beautiful finish.
I have a 65 Chevy pick up that I was thinking of clear coating but now I am definitely going to use your technique. Nice house, I wish I was broke like you.
I remember back in the late 1980's at a new car dealership where black plastic bumpers were rubbed with a rag & automatic transmission fluid to give a better shine.
Thank you. I'm definitely going to use this method on my old Packard. Just one question. How do you get your wife to help? My wife flips me off and calls me rude names if I ask for help.
I have an antique tractor with the original paint on it and I use wd40 and rub it hard. I usually do it about once a month. It works for me. Nice chevy c10 dude.
I’m planning on doing this to ‘Abe, my ‘68 Continental. But I have some exposed primer on the bonnet. Anyone have experience with using the mixture on primer?

BE CAREFUL WITH LINSEED OIl AND RAGS PEOPLE!!! The oxygen in the air reacts to the linseed oil on the rag and it generates heat, and can catch fire without a spark.. Say you left your oily rags on your workbench in your garage in a hot day and went out for a few hours. If it got hotter then 120 in there. You would come back to a burnt down house. Dont leave them in the sun either.. Or poof. Up they go
Not a problem; boiled linseed oil dries, just like enamel (oil base) paint, it just slows down the drying time. In a day or so it will be dry and can be painted over.
used your formula today, my 53 trucks looks great, wiped it on. let it sit and then gave it a buff with the wife's favorite new towell. put her away for the winter, curious to see how well it holds up, many thanks for sharing
Just a tip, cause i learned it the hard way. burn the rags or cloth that have been used with linseed oil. Because if you do not, it can actually ignite by itself after some hours/ days.
@@juanschwabbobb al secarse al principo se le nota y despues ya no , por eso es el aguarras con el aceite de linaza , ..con una sacudida y walaaa .. pasa lo mismo con la pintura normal de carros ..tambien se le pega el polvo ..
I did this over old faded paint and it only lasted about half a year. But it looked good, I'm going to do it again and will just have to do it once or twice a year. Maybe it will start to get better and last longer after several applications.
A quick question for you guys !!! How long does it last I’m doing something a little different in a rail job will this do the job for me it will be out side!! I’ll just be putting Muretic acid to get the rust look will this be a way to go to keep it from rusting more ? Thank!!!

The oxygen in the air reacts to the linseed oil on the rag and it generates heat, and can catch fire without a spark..

I like the metal/wood fence in the back ground 👍
I noticed that fence too! Super nice!
Just did the plastic on my kids Honda. Came out great !
Thank you for sharing this. Can you please tell me how often you need to apply it? The vehicle is outside all year round in Florida.
I did like 4 Times in one year. But after thqt I dont know if started to like build up. And now i do it once a year.
@@mariobanuelos1522 thank you!
Man that truck is badass
Paz Banda thanks!!!!
linseed oil filled rags will self combust. I keep mine in an airtight tin.
They really do catch on fire.
20 years from now when someone goes to restore this there gonna cuss and throw things when they cant figure out why there paint wont stick lol
haha damn.. sand blast it
@@jamalcole1985 you can't sand blast seams. That shit leaks out over time 😂
Not a problem; boiled linseed oil dries, just like enamel (oil base) paint, it just slows down the drying time. In a day or so it will be dry and can be painted over.
Do bugs like to walk on your freshly oiled machine like the little bastards find freshly painted cars from a mile away?
Can you tell me the products name please?
used your formula today, my 53 trucks looks great, wiped it on. let it sit and then gave it a buff with the wife's favorite new towell.
put her away for the winter, curious to see how well it holds up, many thanks for sharing
Hopefully in 40 years someone is going to restore my beautiful f150 🤞
Thanks for the info, looks great ! Gonna use this on a sidecar project I'm working on by piecing together old rusty truck fenders/hood panels.
How often do you have to redo this process
thats what i'm wondering too. And does it stop rust
After every wash
@@anthonydejesus5046 Thanks !
Just a tip, cause i learned it the hard way. burn the rags or cloth that have been used with linseed oil. Because if you do not, it can actually ignite by itself after some hours/ days.
i thought I saw a chipmunk living in his beard 😀✌
Thank you for the video and information!!! I LOVE the truck and I LOVE the Subaru Brat next to your truck!!!!!
Looks like my brat! I have one the exact same color
I wonder if it will help prevent rust on my buggy?
papachubby1951 you can try vaseline for the time being its an old trick one of my 80 yr old neighbors taught me till i get linseed oil
USE TRANSMISSION OIL
IT CLEANS AND PROTECTS METAL
Dollor tree lemon furniture polish for short time use. Two or, 3 spray cans.
Nice truck, please keep making the videos, very helpful
"mineral spirits" es aguarrás o alcohol etílico y "boiled linseed oil" es aceite le linaza hervido. (español) #denada
Se ve muy simple y ha quedado fantástico, me pregunto, y cuando se pegue el polvo?, que haremos 🤔
@@juanschwabbobb al secarse al principo se le nota y despues ya no , por eso es el aguarras con el aceite de linaza , ..con una sacudida y walaaa .. pasa lo mismo con la pintura normal de carros ..tambien se le pega el polvo ..
@@mcozpda3392 ah, es que aquí es un lugar polvoriento como para andar aceitado, jajaja, saludos!
No se si podras mantener tu ropa limpia despues de lubricar tu carro de esta manera... 🤔 Yo no me arimarria!
I watched this video few times great way to enhance the patina on my truck.
How often do you re-apply it? I’m thinking of doing the same thing to my ‘72 GMC C20 once I get it done, great video! Cheers 🍻
I did this over old faded paint and it only lasted about half a year. But it looked good, I'm going to do it again and will just have to do it once or twice a year. Maybe it will start to get better and last longer after several applications.
I'm a big fan of boiled linseed oil...use it on all my hickory handles and wood that's outside. Might now start using it on the rusted barn roof tin.
How about using it on the underneath a vehicle for rust?
A quick question for you guys !!! How long does it last I’m doing something a little different in a rail job will this do the job for me it will be out side!! I’ll just be putting Muretic acid to get the rust look will this be a way to go to keep it from rusting more ?
Thank!!!
I did this on my truck and it lasted at least 7 to 8 months , thats daily driven and never parked in a garage.
Arnulfo B yep, I do this on my Beetle and it lasts about 6 to 8 months in Australian conditions. No garage, daily driver.
Going to do this on my 57 Chevy project. Has a beautiful patina that I want to preserve.
