I am curious if your state allows Boiled Linseed Oil? I haven't bought any for some time now, I used to use it for blending. The other day I must have went to about 5 paint stores finally one fo them says, it's been Banned!
By the way Georgia, does your state allow it. Maybe I can pick some up there.

Unless you live next-door to a demented milk truck driver....

My brother-in-law is a Mennonite and lives about 30 miles from there. Some of his friends relatives have kids in that school...
It's an awful thing, and I feel really bad for the families of the girls and also the family of the whacko.
EDITED TO ADD... Sorry for taking a left turn from the post topic!

Hi Terry, I hope you have a good time at the meet. It sounds like it is going to be very good. I have been to Lodi, California, Cincinatti, Ohio, Blairstown, New Jersey and Glen, New Hampshire in the last few months. Saturday I will be in Mamaroneck, New York at a meet. Keeping busy and enjoying every bit of it. I saw your picture at the meet in Scotland. All my best to your family. Bill

Cisco, I can buy boiled oil here in any of the stores. I don't think there is any state law????
Posted by FranCisco Vargas (Member # 145) on :
Hola Rick, if you can buy it there, it must be product that has not sold in awhile, from what the paint stores here told me it was banned in CA. Although I haven't tried this one art store, maybe today I'll give it a call. Hey Bill wake up you're in the wrong post, Terry left already and took all the linseed oil.
Jon, yeah you almost flipped this post into a sad one. anyway back to the oil...

I use it here in fla! Maybe I should stock up on some just in case! Some may freak just because of it's self combustible tendancies.

boiled linseed oil???
Seems to be banned for consumer use in some places because it is poison. Some confused it for flax oil (which is then boiled or chemically altered to make boiled linseed oil) which is consumable as a food product.
Sheesh,,, Can't they read the labels?

Cisco, as my way of getting myself on-topic here...
I was in Wally World tonight and saw they had Boiled Linseed Oil in quarts for $5.47 a quart. Let me know if you want me to pick some up and bring it to the Sign Circus, would be glad to do that.
Cya in a few days!! Gettin' PUMPED.

...Ha! My hardware store sells it for $4.99! I was gonna offer to bring him a quart but ya beat me to it, Jon. Love....Jill

Just curious, why would linseed oil be banned?
Posted by FranCisco Vargas (Member # 145) on :
Sure, I'll take a quart. Thanks, I can pay you when I see you at the meet...

Consider it done! Might use it as credit towards a copy of the Lodi DVD... Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
James, Boiled linseed oil lends itself readily to spontaneous combustion. If you're using it, any rags you discard should be disposed of in a fire safe container.
