linseed oil

[VeeDubGTI16v]

does it have to be boiled?

just realised the stuff i bought isnt 

i'll put it in the old dear's best pot and put it on the stove if it does

I think the boiled stuff just dries quicker to be honest (even then it takes an age).

I was just about to ask about linseed oil and then I saw this thread.

Heard about people using it on the black plastics. Whats the process and the best stuff to buy?

Clean your trim well, wipe on, wipe off really. Don't get it on your paint and don't apply a thick layer.

Pro's - Bumpers/black trim come up well with it and lasts a couple of months or so
Con's - Messy, smells horrible, put too much on and dirt sticks, flammable cloth

yeah heard about the fire hazard so will apply it with a brush and clean it straight away.

Do I need boiled linseed oil? My Mum works at b&q so will get her to pick me some up

I use boiled and it's brill, not sure on un-boiled.

Mark, you want me to bring mine round on wednesday after I've fixed the beast? I've got the whole day off now so can probs be over for just after lunch.
