You don't boil the linseed oil, you buy it already boiled and cut it with thinner. It makes an excellent sealer, but is dangerous to use as the rags or materials you use while working can burst into flames by spontanious combustion. There have been many threads on this subject. Do a search and read them before using it.

More on BLO and others..

http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...e-bye-blo.html

All this stuff .. Are the benifits worth the hazards ? Many times I think Not .. Hobby guys want to use what the big guys (commercial) guys are using but are ill equipped.. (ventilation,fire protection,respirators,protective suits,gloves .. space suit more or less).. I had one commercial guy tell me he feared the hobby guys would find out what he using . Knowing alot of unprepared would endanger thier lives and thier families .. This stuff is NO JOKE.. reason why Bigfish wanted it sticky . When does a hobby become a hazzard .. I'm sure I cross the line myself ..

Thank you all for this most interesting post! Wow, I knew not to keep oiled rags around but didn't realize they would combust so readily!
