I began my latest batch of leaded linseed oil on July 27, 2021–38 days ago<\/a>. I protected the oil from debris with a cover. I gently rocked the tray periodically to prevent surface skin. <\/p>\n

When I checked the oil today, it was thick and sluggish which means it’s ready to decant and store.<\/p>\n

Forgetting to form a single spout with the malleable lead, I spilled some of the oil when I poured it into the glass jar. This mistake was mitigated when the remaining oil filled the jar almost to the brim.<\/p>\n

Here is the completed oil. While it is darker than raw linseed oil, it’s much lighter than black oil which is made by heating oil with sugar of lead.<\/p>\n

To use it, I thin the oil with turpentine 1:2 or 1:3. It handles much better than raw oil and has more body and is altogether better than stand oil.<\/p>\n

In my experience, the only oil that beats this oil is sun-thickened oil. Done properly, sun-thickened oil has the same thick, honeylike appearance as this leaded oil. While neither type of oil requires heat to prepare, sun-thickened oil takes longer and requires consistent exposure to the sun, which makes it harder to make in northern climates.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you follow my original instructions, make sure you wipe the lead tray clean after decanting the oil. That way you can use the same tray for another batch. <\/p>\n
