GUIDE FOR USE

• You can add linseed oil to your oil paints to increase flow; however, an excess will lead to some yellowing due to the natural colour of the oil.
• Apply the paint layers thinly to avoid other defects of excess, such as wrinkling
• During the winter months, it is entirely normal for linseed oil to undergo a process known as clouding or thickening due to the lower temperatures.
• Linseed oil contains fatty acids that can solidify or become more viscous in colder conditions.
• This natural occurrence does not affect the quality of the oil; however, it can make application challenging.
• To address this issue, simply warm the linseed oil before use. Placing the container in a warm water bath or exposing it to a slightly elevated temperature will help restore the oil to its liquid state, making it easier to apply and ensuring that it maintains its desirable properties.
• This simple step allows for a smoother application of linseed oil, preserving its effectiveness
