Durability: Linseed oil paint ages through abrasion, chalking and weathering. Because linseed oil paint thins itself, there is no need for laborious scraping and removal with chemicals on the day you want to repaint or improve the paint. The normal span between repainting is ten to fifteen years. However, if you live in an area with a lot of moisture and other external influences or have painted with a light color, you can expect to repaint more often.

Care and storage: Unlike water-based paint, linseed oil paint can be stored in cold and frosty conditions. In a tightly sealed jar, linseed oil paint lasts virtually indefinitely. The pigment may have accumulated at the bottom and if air has entered the jar, a skin may have formed. Carefully cut around any skin and gently lift it away. Stir the remaining paint together until it is smooth and even. If the pigment has crystallized, i.e. formed small grains, you can try straining the paint through a nylon stocking.
