Mr. Hyde,

Did you know Boiled Linseed oil isn't even boiled? Great stuff and will give you a super finish at a fraction the cost of boutique oil's. Boiled is the same as raw linseed oil with the addition of chemical polymers to aid and speed the drying process. Linseed oil is also one of the most volatile oil's to spontaneously combust when on a rag or cloth. Seriously, The drying rate is accelerated to the point where it absorbs oxygen and builds heat. Always lay out your linseed oil rags flat until they are dry and hard. Balling up the oil soaked rag will surely result in a fire

Don't be scared, spray away!

when in doubt use a fine grade wiping polyurethane
The Horror!
