  • How long does it take for linseed oil to set?
  • Fellow artist Scott made a big batch and froze out the water. Original Raw cold pressed Flax seed linseed oil is mixed with pure warm water and shaken. The mucilage, water and oil separate like Italian salad dressing in distinct layers after 12-24 hours of sitting in a covered jar. The longer you let it set the more oil you reclaim.
  • What kind of oil do you use for linseed oil?

  • How do you date linseed oil?
  • Test it on any archival paper, date it with a pencil. Do you have a scanner?
  • I have some good washed linseed oil I made in 2008, it's been setting without the water since 2-28-15 and the white protein settled on the bottom, maybe 5%. That reminds me, I have to photo the settled protein in my oil.
  • How much wax do you add to linseed oil?
  • I have some good washed linseed oil I made in 2008, it's been setting without the water since 2-28-15 and the white protein settled on the bottom, maybe 5%. That reminds me, I have to photo the settled protein in my oil. As a painting medium I would add 2% wax, what percent do you add as a final coat?
  • Does linseed/flax oil help with dry dust crystals?
  • Dry dust crystals happened in a month to linseed/flax oil painted on my van's windshield. Linseed/flax oil by itself has no adhesion properties. Stand oil did well on the glass. I hope this sun dried linseed/flax oil proves well.
