LINSEED OILS
Linseed oil is extracted from Flax seeds. In the raw state it does not dry very well if used as a finish for wood. It is however, an essential ingredient for French Polishing and for making Boiled Linseed Oil. Boiled Linseed oil is a well known oil used in finishing wood. It is made by heating refined Linseed oil and adding driers to improve its drying properties. It can be used alone or with varnish to give an oil varnish finish. It is also used in the revised Michelman varnish formula. Varnish makers linseed oil has been refined to remove the “break” so that it will not become cloudy on heating to make varnish.

AGED TURPENTINE
Aged turpentine is made according to the method of William M. Fulton. It is made by bubbling air through pure gum turpentine in the presence of manganese naphthanate acting as catalyst in sunlight for 10-15 days. The solution has been filtered to remove the insoluble catalyst. It is a light straw color and can be further oxidized to make polymerized turpentine or can be used as is to dilute oil varnishes.

WELD
Weld (Reseda luteola), also known as dyers weed, is considered to be the oldest yellow dyestuff known to man. During the middle ages it was grown and used throughout western Europe. The Romans regarded weld as a color symbolizing purity. All parts of the plant may be used, except the roots, but the upper parts of the stalks with the leaves and flowers or seeds are the richest in dye potential. The plants may be used fresh or air dried for the future. The fresh plant yields more dye than the dried plants. Depending on the mordant used, colors range from yellow to gold to yellow green.
