Alkali refined linseed oil is a pale oil extracted from the seeds
of the flax plant. It is used in many of Michael Harding's paints
because it produces the strongest paint film during the drying
process and ensures the longevity of each painting.When mixed with
oil paint, linseed oil will increase the gloss and transparency of
the paint, and will thin the paint so that it flows more easily and
does not hold brushmarks. It will also slow the drying time of the
paint. Linseed oil is also highly suitable for use with dry ground
pigments.Please note soft materials which have absorbed linseed oil
should be stored in sealed containers, as the oil will oxidise when
exposed to the air. This chemical reaction releases so much heat
that the rags may spontaneously combust. Make sure the lid of the
container is closed securely and store in a cool place. Brushes and
tools used with linseed oil should be cleaned with white spirit.
