Apply Linseed Oil and Manage Spills

What happens here

Begin by applying the linseed oil liberally to the wood trim using a brush. The speaker demonstrates applying the oil in various directions, noting that because it is a penetrating and non-drying oil, any visible runs will soak right into the wood and level out, becoming invisible. This property also means that if any oil spills onto adjacent, non-wood surfaces, such as the yellow play equipment shown, it will not dry. You can simply take a rag and wipe the spill right off, even if it has been sitting there for an extended period.

Goal: Apply linseed oil to the wood trim using a brush. The oil's penetrating and non-drying nature ensures that any runs will level out and any spills on adjacent surfaces can be easily wiped away with a rag.
