LINSEED OIL, COLD-PRESSED, TECHNICAL

Linseed oil
“Linseed oil is extracted from the seed of the linseed plant. The plant is grown in a number of European countries. Linseed oil is derived by warm-pressing or cold-pressing, or through extraction of the linseed.” – Excerpt from VIOLIN VARNISHES by Josef and Reiner Hammerl, page 59. More information about linseed oil, its properties and use can be found in this book.

“Cold Pressed Linseed Oil is the purest grade of natural oil and is paler in color and less yellowing than hot pressed or solvent extracted oils. It also makes a stronger film. It dries slightly more quickly than refined linseed oil and increases gloss and transparency. It reduces consistency and brushstrokes, and is often used in grinding pigments.” – www.theartistsroad.net/articles/oilpaintingmediums
