I’ve had a bottle of linseed oil left over from that brief moment I tried to take up oil painting. For some reason I keep it in my container of stuff-I-use-all-the-time, even though I haven’t opened it in literally 20 years.

But yesterday while sanding a pine and resin pendant I realised I needed something to polish up the wood and dug up the linseed oil. It turned out it was just the thing. 

Anyhow there’s no real moral to this story other than that I throw out everything except art supplies because they are expensive AF and I am always convinced they will come in handy again some day and usually the do. Even if someday is 20 years later.
