    Description

    The color of sun-thickened linseed oil varies from that of sun-thickened walnut oil to darker colors due to the time of year it is processed and the manner of processing. It is typically faster drying than bodied linseed oil and will add gloss, leveling, and flow out to oil paint. This oil can be used as a medium or added to homemade paints and mediums.

    Use turpentine, spike oil, or mineral spirits as a solvent or diluent for oil painting mediums made with linseed oil.

    Source

    They are prepared by exposing cold-pressed linseed oil (derived from the dried ripe seeds of the flax plant [Linum usitatissimum, Linaceae]) to sunlight and blown with air with lead plates in the tank.

    Trace amounts of lead may be present but are not added to the oil. Sun-thickened linseed oil may contain trace amounts of lead because metallic lead strips are placed in the tanks where the oil is exposed outdoors for months. The metallic lead aids in thickening the oil. Typically, the lead does not dissolve into the oil, but we cannot guarantee that small amounts of lead are not present. For this reason, we warn that the product may contain trace amounts of lead.
