How do you remove linseed oil from hardwood floor Left a sticky layer?
Hi Had the same problem. I tried the following. Mixed linseed oil and turpentine 50:50. Then painted on liberally, waited 15 minutes, scrubbed with steel wool and then wiped off with a cloth. Result: better, but not solved. Tomorrow I will try just using turpentine - although I am concerned that this might remove some of the protective oil from the wood.

What is the Molecular weight of linseed oil?
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.

How can you remove linseed oil from your hair and scalp?
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 permiates and infiltrates most any surface it comes into contact- that is why it is such a good preservative for wood, masonry and even metal. Geting 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).
