Linseed oil will not react with or even penetrate most metal. Wipe the metal down with something soft and absorbent (paper towels are tailor made for applications like this) until all of the oil has been removed. (A film of oil will remain.) Take a clean piece of towel and splash on a little rubbing alcohol and finish up the wipe down. The alcohol acts as a solvent and should remove the remaining film of oil from the metal. If not, once more for full effect. Be careful not to spill the alcohol on stuff, and avoid smearing the oil over adjacent surfaces when wiping and when doing the final mopping up. Dispose of materials used in cleaning with appropriate care and consideration.

What is linseed oil made from?
Crushed flax seed.
Does mineral oil attract mold?
Most pertroleum based oils do not encourage mold or mildew when used in indoor settings. When this does occur it is often the result of contamination which is averted primarily by keeping surfaces clean via a light washing with a mild soap (that won't remove the oil) and a thorough drying. However the use of mineral oil for the preservation of tool handles is unknown with respect to endurance of non-growth matters. Linseed oil is often used for tool handles but commonly available types contain toxic by-products. True "boiled" linseed oil overcomes this effect but is not readily available.
How does industry control thermal runaway reactions?
Perhaps an example will illustrate one problem.In preparing boiled linseed oil from the parent stock, the oil is heated so far, and then an exothermic reactionoccurs. If this proceeds naturally, it will lead to overheating of the vessel, and eventually an explosion or a fire, or both.To prevent the overheating, when a certain (known safe) temperature is reached, the heating process is stopped, and blasts of cold water are sprayed on the reaction vessel. Should the overheating continue despite the extra cooling, an alarm sounds to warn employees to remove themselves, and the spray is increased drastically.If the overheating continues then an explosion does occur.This contingency is catered for by housing the reaction vessel in a building which has excess height, lacks one complete wall, and is located such that the explosion will cause no damage to other buildings or staff. Naturally, a sprinkler system is in full operation by now, so that the hot oil explosion is quenched.Footnote. Linseed oil poses other problems to users. Occasionally, a bunch of linseed oil soaked rags will spontaneously combust. You should never leave rags soaked in linseed oil such that a resulting fire would cause more damage.
Is oil in salad dressing a suspension colloid or solution?
Oil-based paints tend to separate into layers over time. The pigment molecules are suspended in a solvent of linseed oil and mineral spirits. Oil-based paints are suspensions. Water-based paints such as latex paint are colloids.
This medium uses turpentine as its solvent and uses chemicals to dilute blend and clean up?
The medium is oil paints, with turpentine being often used as a solvent to thin and to clean up. The oil used is usually Linseed Oil to act as a pigment binder. But other oils are also used.
Can you use paint thinner to remove linseed oil from metal?

Can linseed oil be used to seal concrete?
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"
What is the difference between double boiled linseed oil and boiled linseed oil?
Double boiled linseed oil contains extra chemical additives that boiled linseed oil does not have. These chemical are added to help with the drying process.
Why do you have to use linseed oil to knock in a bat?
We use linseed oil because it soaks into the the bat and makes it moist and knocking in becomes much easier but make sure to use raw linseed oil and not boiled linseed oil. The bat does not soak boiled linseed oil. Raw linseed oil not only increases the life of the bat but also makes the performance of the bat better.
Does linseed oil damage paint?
Linseed oil does not damage paint. Linseed oil is used along with turpentine in oil paints as a type of paint thinner. Linseed oil extends the life of oil paint, makes it easier to thin out, control the paint and paint layers.
What will remove linseed oil from a carpet?
Honestly I don't think you CAN get linseed oil off of anything. I know people who have found dried linseed oil paint in their hair 2 months (and dozens of showers) after leaving a jobsite. Linseed oil does one thing very well- it permeates and infiltrates most any surface it comes into contact- that is why it is such a good preservative for wood, masonry and even metal. Getting it off your skin is tough enough using paint thinners, turpentine, etc, and really you're just diluting it (oh, and it's being partially absorbed into your skin too).
