Handling and Warning Notices:

Spontaneous Combustion of Linseed oil and other Drying Oils
Drying oils dry by reaction with oxygen. If you absorb linseed oil with a cloth or paper, the surface is enlarged greatly. This will speed up the drying process, which leads to a heat build-up and at the worst to spontaneous combustion. Therefore it is important to spread the cloth or paper soaked with linseed oil and let it dry in a safe place prior to disposal. -
