[Cob] linseed oil

[john fordice]

Tys,
The only thing I know about boiled vs raw linseed oil is that raw  
tends to remain sticky when it dries.
Other than that, a cob sample mixed with boiled (in the mix, not  
topical as in a surface treatment) has dried with no stickiness and  
has weathered repeated rain exposure
with essentially no erosion.
