Question
Are there any toxic volatile compounds in raw linseed oil?
I have a lung condition and need to know if there's any risk in using raw linseed oil as a wood finishing on a door that is indoors. Thanks and best regards.
Answer
Evelyn,
To my knowledge there is not an issue, but...each person reacts differently with all materials. I suggest ordering a small quantity and doing a test patch area to see if you have a reaction.
You could try products from AFM Safecoat as well.
Hope that helps.
