Review on 🔆 Sunnyside Corporation 87216: The Ultimate 1 Pint Boiled Linseed Oil for Maximum Protection and Restoration! by Richard Dean

I have always avoided linseed oil but decided to give it a try. Some reviewers have mentioned they even put it on their cutting boards. Well, I'm not sure what they were thinking because Sunnyside specifically says on their website that they don't use this or untreated on food prep surfaces. In this case, I think common sense had to play a role as well. At first this bottle was very difficult to open, I think because it is dangerous for children. After opening, the chemical smell became very strong. I'm really not sure why anyone in their right mind would put this on their cutting board when cooking oil would do the same job. Sunnyside describes in their data sheet that metal additives are added and the odor is light. But for me it was almost like opening a gas can. All this, as they say, serves its purpose. The oil absorbs significantly better than other natural nut-based oils. My two cents, use this outside or freshly aired. Pour some into the small lid and keep the pint closed. To apply, use a paper towel (because real rags are flammable due to unspecified additives) and also sand it down a bit, then apply again and allow to air dry. Compared to other nut-based oils, this one has a very strong yellow cast when applied to tan wood. If you're going to use it on wood, don't use it on anything tan unless you don't mind that it turns yellowish. It works better on pine, mahogany or rosewood heartwood where the natural wood color is darker than the oil color.
