Linseed oil warning

Hey ladies! Just a heads up, I recommend using gloves if you use linseed oil. I got some on my thumb and didn’t wash it off right away and now I have a strange brown mark. First a layer of skin peeled off and then this odd spot. Anyway, I’ll be using gloves from now on and just wanted to let you all know about this :blush: Good day to all!!!

I stopped using linseed oil when I read about spontaneous combustion.

Would you recommend to use it in a base layer? Do YOU use it? I’ve read several discussion here about to use or not to use - that is the question.

I have only used it about 5 times in over a year and that was on ethnic skintones to see if that helped with the blending being smooth

No I do not use it normally

Thank you so much, Jenni. I bought it because I saw it on recommended supply list, but after reading blogs and your input decided that it not necessary. Just want to do my best for my first reborn baby :blush:.

Did it help with blending? It looks like it keeps the paint smooth

I didnt notice much difference but I paint with thin layers

I have seen someone state that it fades paint later on faster but do not know the truth to that
