    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the resurgence of linseed oil paint as a favored finish for woodworking projects. Linseed oil paint penetrates into the wood, offering unmatched protection compared to acrylic and alkyd paints. The paint is more expensive but covers a larger area, sticks to surfaces without primer, and can be applied smoothly over bare wood. The article also provides tips on preparing surfaces for painting and maintaining linseed paint finishes. [Extracted from the article]
