Im working on a raw steel build. Have let it rust for character and now want to stop the process and seal. I applied wd-40 last week and am now thinking to apply boiled linseed. Can I apply the boiled linseed over mostly evaporated wd-40?

Clean the metal with paint thinner. Let dry then apply the lindseed oil in thin coats. Wd40 will most likely stop it from sticking. Do not throw out the lindseed rags when your done they will off gas and catch fire. Lay them somewhere till https://ratrodbikes.com/forum/threads/canadian-metal.115678/page-9
Thanks, I can give it a wipedown before applying. Ill probably be on a long dusty ride tomorrow so assume alot of the wd-40 will be soaked up. Will give it a cleaning afterwards. Noted on the rags catching fire. Ill wash them heavily in the sink with dish soap then lay them out to dry before disposal.
Nope just let them dry they off gas in your pipes you'll know it
