@twister.nyroc.rr.com:

Is there an approved way of storing or disposing of linseed oil rags?


Tie 'em around a rock and heave 'em overboard....(c;

Seawater cooling prevents spontaneous combustion....

More linseed oil goes overboard when it rains than the rag can hold. It
must be going overboard, anyways. You keep having to put more on, right?

Disposal problem solved.... You don't even have to carry 'em back down the
dock!
