Can wood glue be applyied over linseed oil finish?
It can be, but the Linseed oil will inhibit it's ability to soak into the wood. If I had to do this, I would insert a 'biscuit' or a dowel for added strength.
How do you dry linseed oil on wood floor quickly?
By the time you asked this question, you must have already had too much oil on the wood. Wipe as much of it off as you can. Use a squeegee if there's still that much. Then rub it. Rub it some more. Rub it again, harder. With dry, soft, cotton cloths. Rubbing heats the oil and helps it penetrate, and the dry cloth removes any excess oil. Oil finishes do not really dry. They're not like paint. They soak into the wood, rather than forming a layer on top of it. If it did dry on top of the wood, you wouldn't like the result. It would stay sticky and gummy, and might even grow mildew.
What do you mix with linseed oil to protect interior wood?

How do you make linseed oil dry?
It all depends, I suppose, on your usage. The 100% safest way is just to buy it at the store... never try to make it yourself by boiling raw linseed oil as you'll no doubt wind up with a pretty good fire on your hands. Today's "Boiled Linseed oil" is mixed with chemical agenyts that cause it to dry more quickly than raw linseed oil. Heating raw linseed oil (under laboratory conditions!) causes it to polymerize and oxidize, making it thicker and shortening its drying time. Again, kids, don't try this at home!
