Kiniyeow Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I've been to several pharmacies, but haven't found one that carries it yet. I'm not using it as a laxative, but as part of a food safe finish for wood projects. If anyone has actually seen it someplace, I'd love to know where. In the mean time, I'm going to keep my eyes open and continue checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seligne2 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Good luck. I have never found it. Nor tung oil. I have turned to using coconut oil. There is a thread on this subject somewhere here if you do a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62strat Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Possibly at the health food store on the edge of the China Town area .... I might have seen it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjie Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Good luck. I have never found it. Nor tung oil. I have turned to using coconut oil. There is a thread on this subject somewhere here if you do a search. Does the coconut oil not go rancid? what sort of coconut oil the processed cooking kind or the clear virgin (cold extracted)? You could melt some Beeswax into it also I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seligne2 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Test it on a knife handle. You want something 1) edible, 2) does not turn sticky. Pure coconut oil. Let the price be your guide. Expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousehound Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Linseed oil or any cooking oil is fine. you should be able to get Linseed oil at a hardware store. Edited February 1, 2015 by Mousehound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiniyeow Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, but raw Linseed oil is not what I am looking for and besides, it has a very long cure time. Boiled Linseed oil would be great as I could use it with Shellac and DNA to make a great friction polish, but I have yet to find any here in Chiang Mai. Cooking oil will go rancid after a period of time and is also unacceptable for the application in which I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linseed oil is not suitable for food-related uses! Cooking oil will turn gummy, don't us it. PS: I have never been able to find (boiled) linseed oil in Thailand in any event.
