An opaque mixture of pigments dissolved in linseed oil and applied to a panel is called a stain. Stains come in a variety of colors and are used to help protect wood from rotting.
Since linseed oil is a naturally occurring product it will not have a specific molecular weight. I will depend on the composition of fatty acids which can be quite difference from crop to crop or even within the same "jar" of linseed oil. Also raw linseed oil is a mixture of triglycerides with some free fatty acids. In other words linseed oil is not a pure chemical but a mixture of many compounds. When using linseed oil in chemical reactions such as making alkyds a molecular weight of about 890 to 900 will usually work well.

Linseed oil is a traditional PRESERVATIVE and has been used for centuries for concrete, masonry, wood and metal. You would mix it 1 parts linseed to 2 parts turpentine (not mineral spirits), but the mixture would vary. You want to used boiled linseed oil, not raw linseed oil (check the label). Note this is not a SEALANT but a preservative- if you are doing your garage or basement floor, try something else! Also be careful- the tools and rags you use can spontaneously combust (i.e.: burst into flame, no kidding!) when being used with linseed oil. Check the Wikipedia page for details under "Linseed Oil"
It's an old recipe for putty, especially glazing putty.

Yes, linseed oil can be used to condition leather boots. Apply a small amount on a rag and coat leather allowing to soak in. Dispose of rag carefully as it can spontainiously combust - burn rags to ensure this is done safely and doesnt burn your house down.!
