Thanks Mac...
Does Linseed oil smell like old deep fryer oil?
I got some new tools for Christmas and the handles on them smell like ...
ass.

Well.. I won't touch that one...

It has a mild mineral spirit / turpentine kinda smell that goes away in a day or
so..

That's not the aroma I normally associate with linseed oil; unless
perhaps it's been thinned out with one of those solvents. I think it
has a rather pleasing and "nutty" smell, which I guess is indicative of
the flax seeds from which it is made. Supposedly there are raw
(non-denatured) varieties that even have dietary uses...
