natural moisture content which retards cracking, checking, shrinking, and aids water resistency.

Linseed oil is a yellowish drying oil derived from the dried ripe seeds of
the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum, Linaceae) and is a major ingredient in a lot of oil paints and varnishes. It is obtained by pressing, followed by an optional stage of solvent
extraction.
Linseed oil dries very slowly, unlike boiled linseed oil which is simply raw oil with chemical accelerators, called "driers" added. Because boiled linseed oil has a faster
drying time, people generally prefer to use this.
The linseed oil is used as an emollient in liniments, pastes, and medicinal soaps, and in veterinary medicine as a laxative.
