In the April-May 2009 MJF magazine there are instructions for making my own oil cloth using linseed oil. I want to make my own sandwich wraps using oil cloth but not if oil cloth is toxic.

If search the web and found nothing regarding toxicity of oil cloth made with linseed oil. Does anyone have information on this topic?

BTW, this is my first journey into Farmgirl communications! I'm really excited!

part way down it say "linseed oil is an edible oil that is used as a preservative" Make sure you don't use boiled linseed oil for food contact items as that is the stuff that has additives that can be poisonous. Linseed oil is from the flax plant.
