> Rags soaked with linseed oil stored pose fire hazard because they provide a large surface area for rapid oxidation. The oxidation of linseed oil is exothermic, which may lead to spontaneous combustion.
@becassine well, just don't throw it in the trashbin. if i use paper-towels i throw them into the fireplace outside, but i think if you wash away the oil with soap thats works too. it's just oil after all :)
@becassine yeah, linseed oil is pretty universal, the putty you can make from it with chalk and linseed based paints (the classic swedish falu red) are also great. much better for wood than all the synthetic stuff.
Does that mean you need to clean your rag out after using it?
