[TheForge] Re (kl) Stabilization- More on Linseed Oil

[Gladish Family]

That seems really odd, because unless you found five MSD's for true 
boiled linseed oil (which I've only seen for sale by "earth friendly" 
paint companies) all "boiled" linseed oil has dryers. It's just plain 
linseed oil with additives to make it dry faster...
I like the Generic Warning theory: they just put badass warnings on 
everything and then the lawyers are happy.
