  'sikkativ' common root with the English 'dessicate'
  or 'drying agent',
  as in wet film applied drying, (really reacting/curing), to a tack-free coating.

  It's the age old problem,
  pure no-additive Linseed Oil has minimal risks of hazards when applying,
  it just takes forever to fully cure.

  'Boiled' Linseed Oil has heavy metal catalysts/drying agents that reduce the cure time,
  but have significant exposure risks.

  Yep, can't remember the last time I saw one.
  Slight acquaintance with them as well.
  My father changed jobs in the mid-70's,
  and the Sales Director of the company had one.
  For some reason my Father was lent it over a weekend.
  Whichever specification it was, it contained a small fridge in the boot,
  just large enough for a 4-pack!
