Being part of the laid off public do to the economy. I am locking for small odd jobs around my house with little or no cost to fill the void of 12 hour lost work schedule. I came up with re sealing my 4 foot wood step ladder and my 40 foot extension later for to day's project . My question is this I have 2 cans of linseed oil from way back when is that the stuff to use or should it be boiled linseed oil and why?

Thanks

I am not sure. I have always used boiled linseed oil for these types of things. Seems like it will soak in and dry better.
 
Put your linseed oil in a pot and boil it??? Then you to will have boiled linseed oil. HAHAHA I dont know if it works this way, but sounded good....good luck. Hope ya find work soon...
 
RAW linseed oil does not have the dryers that BOILED linseed oil has.

Boiled linseed oil dries after a while as it soaks in, whereas raw will take forever to dry, but you'll be in the old folks home by that time.
 
I did the inside woodwork on my new house with;
Raw linseed oil, pure turpentine [not mineral] and terebin [drying agent]. worked out well for half the house until I had to get more oil. unfortunately I didn't know it was old stock and the rest of the house had sticky on the woodwork which I had to remove with a solvent and steel wool.
The Salesman told me the linseed oil tends to become sticky with age.After the fact.
 

If there is one thing on the Honey do List, or even one thing that she might have mentioned in the last few years that oughta be done, better stay away from that ladder until her stuff is finished.........

You'll want boiled oil but not sure if it's something you can do yourself.
