Hi Hakan
There isn't any humus in linseed oil. Triglycerides and some other
stuff, but no humus. Once it's dried (or cured - is there a
difference Greg?) it's pretty inert.
I believe there is a difference Keith, but, some of both happens. For the
drying part, they lose the volatiles
It's suggested to linseed with up to 10 coats then seal with beeswax for
the final coat. This can also be applied to adobe walls too. There are
some great references across the web and in books that deal with natural
building. Just go a searching

Hello Robert

The biofuels list includes a very diverse group of people with
wide ranging
expertise. I'm pleased that Keith allows us to discuss topics only
tangentially
related to the list theme--thanks! It's a real education being here!
Isn't it just? Tangentially related, yes,

Doug,
I am happy to hear that it works well. Many of this kind of building
techniques are proven during many hundreds of years. If you have
respect for physical laws and understand how they work, they are
all low energy houses. They are also more comfortable than many
of constructions invented

heat the water with biodiesel or WVO. There are several companies that
