Took a while to clean all the crap off and apply the right oil or lube it needed. Whoops. |

Our oldest family home, built in 1741 in Greenland, NH, was painted with a mixture of linseed oil and white lead for well over 100 years. 'Makes good paint.

: And several of my gunstocks are coated with hand-rubbed linseed, which dries in a month or so. Not if it's PROPERLY "boiled". You must've done them with commercial 'boiled linseed oil', which is not cooked, just prepared with chemical dryers to eventually sequester all the fats. In the long view, it's terrible stuff which stays sticky for a LONG time. Proper old-school cooked, skimmed, strained linseed oil, on exposure to the oxygen in the air, polymerizes perfectly in about a week. In order to do that, ALL the fats have to be cooked out and mechanically removed. And, if you pre-treat the wood with a potassium permanganate solution (and clean it again) to accelerate the normal slow oxidation process of the wood's own resins, you'll get a "years old" patina in about two months. I've done a whole bunch of that, building period reproduction furniture. L |

And several of my gunstocks are coated with hand-rubbed linseed, which dries in a month or so. And blacksmiths traditionally (and still) rub workpieces straight from the fire (sooty, some scale) with linseed oil while just hot enough to gently smoke a bit. The heat accelerates the polymerization and the wiped-down piece is no longer sticky by the time it's cool enough to handle. Makes a nice, somewhat weather resistant black finish. For wood, a point to note is that "boiled" linseed may contain cobalt dryer. Probably not very much but cobalt is toxic so you may want to avoid it on salad bowls and food prep surfaces. Surely anyone suggesting linseed as a lubricant is doing it toungue in cheek? Surely? :-o -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada |

Spray the axles if they're loose-caught in their holders. Nothing else quiets squeaks. Tighten all hinge screws properly, too. Wax between door sections if they creak.
