linseed oil
Paint thinner base
Linseed oil is oil pressed from the seeds of the flax plant.
It's used as a wood finish, a base for oil paints, and a nutritional supplement (where it's often called flaxseed oil).
The oil hardens when exposed to air, which makes it valuable for protecting wood and as a paint binder.
He rubbed linseed oil into the walnut table.
