Thanks for the kind words. The process is pretty simple. I tear bikes all the way down to the bare frame so I get every mm covered with the linseed. I clean everything really good with...I hate admitting this....a small amount of gasoline, including the painted parts of the bike. Best degreaser on the planet and I use a very small amount. Then I put on a vinyl glove, put an old sock on over that, soak one spot of the sock with the boiled linseed, and then just take my time massaging and rubbing it into the paint. I get every little nook and cranny by taking the sock off my hand and rubbing it into the cracks. That's really basically it. It gets that look everyone wants.
I know it says this in the directions on the linseed can but always wear gloves, always ventilate, and discard of the linseed socks/rags outside your house/garage. I actually suggest burning them. It smells absolutely terrible and it actually will combust if you throw a soiled linseed rag in a trash can and cover it up. My friend's trash caught on fire from the linseed rags basically becoming compost and getting hot. You'll hate the smell so bad the first time you use it that you'll swear to never use it again. But keep at it and the smell won't bother you, especially when you see the results.
Good luck!
