Anyone who uses linseed oil:
Here's a tip.
Buy raw linseed oil in larger quantities from a wholesaler if you can. It's cheaper that way, although it can look a bit 'cloudy'.
Just put it into one litre glass bottles and leave them out of the way on a high shelf for a few weeks. You should find all the gunk settles to the bottom of the bottle and you can decant it into smaller containers for ready-use.
It clears like a fine wine, I assure you. It becomes 'refined' enough to use for oil painting and there are no gummy deposits on the woodwork either.
Happy Chipping
