Linseed Oil, refined
varnish oil, bleached linseed oil
Refined linseed oil is pale yellow in color. It is extracted using higher pressure than cold pressed as well as heat. It too, dries to a hard, durable film. Though it appears lighter in color, it will yellow over time to the same degree as cold-pressed, so color changes can appear more significant.
