Hi. I am experimenting with linseed oils for wood finishing, cured under uv lights. I have experimented with adding garlic to the oil. After a year on the sun the oil develops a crust on top and thickens, cures beter under uv light. What effect does water washing has on the polimerization of the linseed oil. Do you start with raw oil? Hot pressed or cold pressed? What about washing the "boiled" (drying agents) linseed oil?
I think just to make the result much purer, clearer, adding no color. So if we used the purified linseed oil for an Ingredients for a paint/Varnish making, the color appearance is not affected by the oil (the pigments/color tone is totally unaffected)
Hi! Very useful video!!! One question, what´s the type of water? Water from the tap? Distilled from the rain? bottled mineral water for human consumption? Thanks!
@@euricojose3576 No its a coarse silica based sand. The process is detailed in Tad Spurgeon's book 'Living Craft'. Tad suggests pool filter sand. I tried the Sand and Salt method in my undergraduate and it did not work well. It is long and highly involved with a lot to go wrong. You should look into the alcohol and psyllium husk method by Louis R. Velazquez. He adapted that from the recipe of Pacheco (Diego Velazquez' master). There are a few videos on RUclips showing the process which is relatively passive.
I know that the oil bleaches in the sun but in the dark it returns to its darker color.. I don’t know how Chelsea company purify the oil but it’s so clear and it’s not bleached in the sun so it stays that light color but it’s too expensive..
None of these relatively larger companies are using methods that make a high quality oil like the ones that were used from the 15th-19th centuries. They either sell unrefined oil or oil that has all of the important elements striped away using solvents. Also wouldn't trust their lavender essence thinner. For the size they sell it at its probably cut with mineral spirits. A website called 'The Art Treehouse' is run by a guy in WI and he is really wonderful. He sells hand refined oil and various essential oil solvents.
What are you adding? I would like to try this but don't know the amounts of what all you did.
Will this process work for walnut oil too?

Thanks!
distilled rain water i saw it in a another vids since it avoids the oil from mixing with the minerals and salts in the tap water
@@PsychoticGoth thanks!
You need a electric hand mixer to blend oil and water, shaking is very slow and poor process. You can use salt and sand in the water.
@@AlbertGutierrez-pw9kz Thanks! Like sand of a river or the sand of a salty sea?

A separating funnel would make pouring off a lot cleaner/easier.
THANKS!
Sun must be very hot there because my linseed oil did go lighter but only after 4 months. I'm far from clear.
This is the mediterranean sun
Can you secure me that this metod 100% works? Ps. I leave oil under mediterranean sun.

Alcohol mixed with water is also good
For what , exactly ......?
No salts?
This proccess is just requiring water and oil.
.........there are few metods .....
Im not a hater- this is a proven faulty method - - sorry. Louis velasquez
Para que se purifica?
Para ficar mais transparente, e "secar mais depressa"
