[Cob] cob: linseed oil, finishes

[Amanda Peck]

Back about a year ago, there was a biggish discussion of oil 
finishes/linseed oil in the Strawbale list, including how to treat your own 
raw oil.  No mention of explosions there, but I still think I'm NOT going to 
heat raw linseed oil to 450 degrees F, for 45 minutes.  The Steens do a 
low-temp version that is described somewhere in the thread in this link:

Also, it looks rather as though Tried and True products are FINISHES, not 
plain linseed oil.  And apparently last year, at least, they had some 
quality problems, according to a couple of posts in the wood finishers 
forum.
