Is it true that linseed oil paint does not bind as well on planed panels?

No, our linseed oil paint binds very well on planed wood. There are so-called linseed oil paints on the market that don't soak into the wood and, just like plastic-based paints, stick like tape on the surface. If the timber is very good, rich in resin, and newly planed/milled, it can sometimes be difficult for the linseed oil paint to penetrate into the surface with or without the use of solvents.

Extra oily surfaces need extra preparation before painting, so that surplus resin is reduced. Leaving the wood exposed for a year is the easiest method to ready the surface, before the paint is applied. Natural resin-rich wood is not very common in North America today and is not much of a concern.

Most wood available in the USA is extremely dry and readily soaks up the linseed oil. Return to FAQ. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
