Anyone got a good place to get linseed oil on the cheap?
Can any of the forum sponsors help?
Thanks in advance!

He didn't ask for Sports Direct, he asked for forum sponsors...

The bottle size in the slazenger bat care pack is also minuscule, and it's not exactly leak-proof.

It is super tiny. Not worth it.
I actually bought the bat car pack just for the bat cone, I saw 7 at the store, only one was clean, all the others were covered in linseed oil.

Not a forum sponsor but Toolstation do it cheap!

Got mine from B & Q about 20 years ago, still loads left even after giving half a pint to a mate.
Recently made up some bat wax with some of it.

How much did you buy mate?? I was tempted by the 5litre bottle but thought that would outlast a lifetime considering how little you actually use to oil a bat haha

They only had 1 litre bottles, made sure it was raw and not boiled. That's about 200 to 250 coats :D

Glad I didn't get the 5L then! I plan on making more wax as it's much easier IMO, should be yers worth though :D
-
what do you put the wax in after you have made it to stop it skimming over?
-
Stupid question, but is there any difference between say GM linseed oil and GN linseed oil? I wouldn't have thought so, but you never know...

Got mine in an old jam jar mate

You sometimes see raw linseed oil in chemist's shops. Does anyone know what its other use is?

Careful what you say, Paul...

Seeing as it can spontaneously combust and generally reacts exothermically, I should imagine it can be used as some sort of deep-heat type muscle rub.
EDIT:

Looks like it has antioxidant and anti-cancer properties
-
You can eat it! That will interest a few people on here!
-
Only oil that is food grade. Not sure what happens if you dring the stuff that isn't, but I should imagine it may not be all that good...
-
No chance of a linseed oil chutney making competition, then?
-

Not really, I don't think. My feelings on this have been made well known on here in the past...
If everyone always recommended Sports Direct over forum sponsors, we may not have a Custom Bats Forum for much longer!
