Linseed oil combusts due to its high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, which makes it prone to oxidation. Factors that contribute to its flammability include exposure to heat, oxygen, and the presence of catalysts such as metal ions.
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).
