I've used linseed oil that was decades old with zero issues. In paint and on wood. Now, I've had old [I]shellac[/I] go bad and never set, as well as RTV sealers.

That's some nice work!

Linseed oil works great on baseball gloves and bats. I’ve used it many a time.

I think to treat leather that would be raw oil, not boiled.
