No idea where that comes from, but it is not factual. Linseed oil is too cheap to need a substitute.


It came from a poster on rimfire central who was an executive at a very large paint company that coincidentally made Klean Strip and other oils. George was probably the most expert paint and oil analyst I've ever talked to and he knew all the formulations of all of these so called "oils" on the market. If he said it didn't contain any plant based material, you could take it to the bank. Linseed oil is cheap, but has a relatively short shelf life and also supply chain, IMO...
