Oil-based formulations may be too thick, making it difficult to work with them. To solve this problem, they can be diluted with linseed oil before acquiring the desired consistency. These manipulations can significantly reduce the consumption of the main product.
After completion of work, all items must be disposed of.otherwise they may be hazardous due to the fact that they are combustible and explosive materials. The remains of drying oil should be stored in a safe place, preventing interaction with fire, sunlight and electrical appliances, and protect from moisture. If the solution thickens, it should be diluted with any solvent that can be used with oil paints, in a ratio of 1 to 10.
