can this be used over initial boiled linseed oil application

I was asked to respond to this question by Amazon, but I don't think my application will help. I used this product to "seal" bark on the side of a slab of Deodar Cedar that I turned into a table. There was no linseed oil used before or after.

I have not had the chance to use this product yet but I would assume since the product is solvent based, it may not be wise to use on a greasey surface- Im not sure the product would cure properly, but if the surface is finished and not slick, it shouldnt corrode the finish on the wood. Maybe do a test on a small area like underside something and dip a q tip into a throw away plastic cup that has some of the material sprayed into it before applying it allover.

No you did not. I just gave myself a wonderful hot oil treatment a few days ago using Vartika. It started out solid. I heated water in a large plastic container until it boiled then I placed the entire bottle of vartika in it and left for about 7 minutes. Viola! It turned into a liquid.

That I am not sure of, but I would recommend diluting it if you are using it as a topical due to strength of oil. I would suggest researching it before using it. that way.

I see no reason not to do so. Using this as a solvent for pure tung oil leaves a food safe finish.

You need to wash off the factory oil, and apply vegetable oil on it before your first use.

That I am unsure about, but my instinct says not to use exept exactly what the directions say. The pans have many bad reviews about stuff sticking to the pan , so it could have been a case of not seasoning it correctly, so I would try to use veggie oil if I could

Yes you can, but sparingly. The oil is quite thick and heavy so a tiny bit goes a long way.

No, and this is just ok oil, usable. I think I will choose another brand next time.

Think about a panof used oil sitting on the stove after you have used it. Same thing, not convenient for me to refigerate. It is suggested you keep oil in airtight container, I have covered with saran wrap when Iknew I would be using again in a couple days. Usually just pour it back in the bottle can be used 6-9 times before I toss it.

Absolutely. I am using it for pre-shave oil (Castor and Olive with Essential Oils). Works great.

I haven't done so myself and am not sure that I would advise it. It does turn into pure, liquid oil as soon as you begin to handle it. I actually use it as oil for my pop corn when I cook on the stove. Adds a great flavor! It's certainly safe to eat, but eating it alone is going to depend on what you can stomach. Good luck!

I found these worked great in a floating wick. This depends on the quality of the oil. It worked well with extra virgin olive oil however it did not wick the olive/canola oil blend. The lamp we burnt ran twenty four seven. The wick needed raising about every twenty four hours of burning.

As I recall, the directions said just to rub a little salad oil on the pan before using for the first time. I did that, and it worked just fine.

Boiled linseed oil contains a blend of 1) raw oil, 2) Stand oil - which is linseed oil heated to 300 degrees for several days, and 3) metal catalysts. It cures in about 2 days. Raw linseed oil does not have the additives, and is closest to pure flaxseed oil. However Raw linseed oil can take a month to cure.

I don't think I would. There is no separate area for any additional oils and I would think the mechanism would get gummed up after a time. Just my opinion...

Yes, the oil I purchased is cold pressed and can be used in its present state, or you can warm it up to melt it.

The pan comes pre-seasoned, and the seasoning is pretty effective. To supplement the original job, use flax seed oil. It's available in most health food stores or a hardware store as linseed oil. Just make sure you get the RAW linseed oil. Before using any oil, give it the sniff test to make sure it is not rancid. Something like eight ounces will last you for years - just store it in the fridge. To use, pour a small puddle of the oil in the pan about the size of a quarter. Then take a paper towel, fold it up several times, and wipe the oil around the inside of the pan. Make sure you don't miss any spots. Your objective is a smooth, thin, shiny coating over the complete pan. Then take the same piece of paper towel and wipe down the outside. Of course, the outside is less critical. Now to cure the oil. You have several choices. Place the pan in the oven upside down, turn the heat up to about 400 or so, and bake the pan for an hour. Turn off the oven, and let it cool slowly in the oven. Sometimes this procedure will stink up your kitchen, so another option is outside on the grill. The procedure is the same, but this time heat up the grill to 500-550 F. Actually this is the preferred approach, but not everyone has an outside grill. After repeated uses, the pan will get 'sticky' for things like eggs, so I do a quicky when that happens. Again, apply a coating of flax seed oil as above. Assuming you have a gas stove, turn on a small burner about half way and place the pan over the burner upside down. Let it there for 15-30 minutes. Again, afterwards let it cool slowly. Don't touch it until you're sure it's cool, or you'll regret it. These pans do require oil when cooking. Myself, I use either olive oil or canola oil. Use whatever you think is the healthiest for your family. All this sounds very complicated, but it really isn't - just a few basic steps. Apply some oil, wipe, heat. That's all there is to it. Personally, I like iron and steel pans, and I think this one works like a charm. Bon appetit!
