PSA: boiled linseed oil soaked rags can and will spontaneously combust if not properly disposed of. Seems like some people like to soak them in water.
I always burn them, but honestly I've tried getting them to spontaneously burn and you have to basically saturate the rags dripping wet and surround them in some insulating trash, it really takes a near perfect scenario. Caution either way.
You can’t soak an oil soaked rag in water. That method just delays the process. I lay my rags out in the sun under some gravel rock to dry for a couple hours. They’ve NEVER caught on fire but do get warm. To combust, you’d need a pile and likely some sawdust fuel source for the danger. I’ve seen people try and it’s actually not easy to do (although it’s happened enough it deservedly freaks people out). Anyway, it’s the accelerated exothermic polymerization reaction that causes the danger. Store bought BLO is mixed with metallic driers (typically cobalt but they used lead in the past) that catalyze polymerization. The name comes from when they used to have to bring linseed oil ‘up to a boil’ (ie above 200*F the temperature water boiled… they never boiled linseed oil) so it could accept the lead catalyst. Raw linseed oil is just cheap flax seed oil and poses no threat. Cheers!
Just lay them out to dry them out.
Resiste la oxidacion?
I have the exact same jug and usually I spilled on the floor first have to wipe it up and then use it, it's my secret recipe. don't tell anybody
"Little floor spice makes everything nice"
Ben Toombs Lol I was waiting on your reply. LOL you definitely never let us down.
Very nice! I learned something new I can use for future projects. Thank you. For my triangle dinner ringers however, I like the used motor oil finish as it makes it a bit darker. It just personal preference, that’s all.
Why is it we love working with steel so much!?. If I have a fire, some trees, shelter, running water nearby, and a piece of steel plus my tools I cannot be more contented... Some caveman instincts remaining possibly? Steelworking must have been one of the factors that accelerated human kind's development early on.
me org. me throw rock in fire then hit with other rock.
I wonder if using the same method on rusted steel would give the finished steel a cool look and stop the rusting action?
I dont know if its the anvil or the triangle, but the ringing sound that thing makes is really nice.
Hello Jessica and Roy!
Roy, I have used linseed oil a number of times on various steels and one thing I have noticed is how the results vary. Most pieces end up with an even finish while others seem blotchy, in a couple cases the finish was brown. My question is, can different steel affect the finish or is it more likely occurring because of uneven heat? Thanks Jessica and thank you Roy, you make a great team.
Most likely it is because of uneven heat.. As this seems to be the case with me
i noticed that the linseed oil has difficulty staining zinc coatings after heating.
I was thinking of maybe heating and dipping some of my items in oil.
I don’t on knives or machete, apply and bake in the oven 450f 1 hour
I was told this would work to seal a cast iron table saw surface (as im in high humidity and salty air.) Would this work OK?
About to try it myself for the first time today. I have to coat straps and 16 feet of chain. I’ll be throwing it in the oven for the heat. Wish me luck!
Just built an offset smoker.. searched for this and I chose this video.. thank tou
Hi, I’m wondering if this technique would work for the background of a metal two sided sign I’d like to restore for the American Legion post. I’d like to make a Marine Corps League vinyl emblem pop by darkening the background. A little more towards the darker blue but more grey. I’m wondering if the boiled linseed oil would hold up to the elements and how I might prep the metal to receive the vinyl emblem?
Does anyone here know what the minimum temperature is that this will work? I'm interested in applying to tomahawk blades, but I need to keep them under 500 degrees F.
I saw in another video you want it around 400 to 450 I use a grill with a built in temp guage
for us usual people, that want to apply on a restored scissor pair, is the heat necessary, i have nothing to work with other than a gas stove
I have done from ATG's suggestions by making a sword.
When I was done & applied Boiled Linseed Oil.
I sold my ATG Blue Katana Sword for $17,000.00.
ATG Blu Katana Sword @ $17,000.00
Dinner Bell @ $45.00 top
I use it the same way. But at a black heat. Just like the look of the black finish is all. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I prefer dipping it in used conventional Diesel engine oil. Then for subsequent coats, I do what you do in the video, but again using used diesel oil. It leaves a darker bluish finish than linseed oil.
Does the linseed oil must be BOILED oil or can it be "raw" linseed boil?
Thank you.
I buy flaxseed oil from the grocery store and it works just as well imo. Boiled linseed oil is just flax seed oil with some additive that supposedly makes it polymerize quicker but I can't tell a difference.
Señor Guajiro: Thank you very much! 👍
Hey Roy I’m a new sub and I was scrolling through your videos and I’ve noticed that you haven’t continued on the forge welding series. When abouts will you start that one up again?
That's awesome to hear that you're a new subscriber to the channel! I hope to get back on this series at some point this winter or early part of next year. I'm currently working about 90 hours a week so there definitely will be a delay. God bless you and I hope you have a great day
Christ Centered Ironworks all good keep up the good work!
I've been using an old paint brush to apply my oil. I seem to have better luck with getting it even. But I definitely love the look that boiled linseed oil gives!
God bless USA ….. 53ard state of USSR …...….. Oh Yessssssssssssssss
+Rich Jones thanks for taking the time to watch
was the bell made of mild steel? I am trying to learn more about finishes and whether high carbon steel needs to be finished. Any information helps. Thanks
Not sure about applying a finish on high carbon, but I have heard a patina can be forced of blue rust to protect high carbon steel from the metal eating orange rust.
Thanks for the tip and sharing the video.
Can I apply to my large steel desk at room temp. and just let dry. Don't want a fire. Is it safe in that application?
Can I use it for my buhurt spring steel medieval armor? Would a strike from an axe to the head scrape it all off and make it useless or is the layer good enough to take several hits?
I liked and subscribed 4 the “God bless you.” 👍🏾
Do you ever sale any of those bells you make, if so I'd like to own one?
Where did you get that hardie/Pritchel anvil?
Can you do this with welded items or will the heat weaken/break the weld?
Could I do this to my gun barrel? Would I need to take off the original blue first?
New Subscriber here 👍Thank You!
Like 'seasoning' a cast iron skillet. Nice. God bless.
i prefer spray on varnish 2 maybe 3 coats should be good for a long time
Can acrylic gesso be applied on wood with boiled linseed oil?
Just bought a tub or can of boiled linseed oil, now just a few days left for my forge refractory to set till i try it out
Great videos,used it many times but it doesn’t, last too long
I should say I doit on knives
Thank you for the video.
I needed to know how to do this
thanks roy
Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing more finishing tutorials. Got any for outdoor finishes or keeping clear rustoleum on the metal coming up?
I use rustoleums painters touch clear matte enamel alllllll the time. What are you wondering about it?
@@MenardMetalCraft I'm not sure anymore. Lol. I was using the same stuff too for corrosion control.
Couldn't really hear your instructions over the sound of the torch. But got the gist. Thanks for the vid!
Agreed. Best video I’ve seen so far and using boiled linseed oil on metal, but I would be mindful of mic placement when using the torch because I missed a lot of what you were saying because the torch was louder than your voice. Just some friendly feedback, great job in the video though otherwise
You ask how I apply the linseed oil: I use both hands god gave me. Let's share the love.
can yuo apply without heat it first?
Well what’s the reason ??
Does it (a)stop rust
Or is it for aesthetic or other ??
Well what’s the reason ❔❔
If it was untreated it would rust at the first sign of moisture going anywhere near it.
Alternatively you can just coat it and put it in a toaster over.
