In the 's after the 2nd world war, the paint manufacturing industry moved away from the old tried and true methods of making linseed oil paint and began heavily promoting chemical, petroleum and solvent based paints.
These new paint products were very inexpensive to manufacture but did not hold up well, making it necessary to repaint every few years. This was a perfect product for the paint industry, but not for the customer.
When the introduction of the new petroleum paint products began to be marketed in the early 's, the arguments for the new type of oil paint were mostly:. Modern paint. A major difference in modern paints is the change in binder from the used of natural boiled linseed oil to alkyd oil which is generally derived from soybean and safflower oil.
Use of synthetic resins, such as acrylics and epoxies, has become prevalent in paint manufacture in the last 30 years of so. Acrylic resin emulsions in latex paints, with water thinners, have also become common. Today we know the detrimental effects of exposure to chemicals and solvents. So why use them in paint if they are completely unnecessary? With the awareness of the danger of petroleum products in the environment, we are entering a new period for the painting industry.
Legislation has been drafted to eliminate petroleum based oil paint from the market and to ban solvents in paint. Other environmental hazards. Mildecides and fungicides were prevalent and popular until their environmental hazards were seen to outweigh their benefits. New formulations which retard the growth of the mildew and fungi are being used.
Lead was eliminated after in North America and in the 's in Europe. Most recently, volatile organic solvents in oil paint and thinners have been categorized as environmentally hazardous. Returning to linseed oil. The oil pressing industry vanished back in the early sixties and today. Farm pressing of the flax seeds are mainly done in the northern Europe, Saskatchewan Canada and in north and south Dakota in the United States. The Canadian producers export most of the flax seeds.
Small local producers manufacture linseed oil and to a large extent bottle it for use in outdoor wood preservation. A safe paint is available again. Through the rediscovery of ancient wisdom, there is finally an alternative to modern paint hazards and failure. These are the best and safest materials available to preserve our wood structures for future generations.

The result is a thinner and cleaner which is not only useful in reducing or thinning of coatings and most all water and oil based material, but is also useful for cleaning.
When used as a cleaner, the solution leaves a barrier which helps prevent rust on metal and extends the life of a natural bristle brush or lamb's wool roller.
The thinner and cleaner at the same time complies with government air regulations and is very beneficial to the environment. While the invention herein disclosed has been described by means of specific embodiments and applications thereof, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention set forth in the claims.
