Linseed oil can spontaneously combust as it dries, one would have to be
fairly cautious, and I suppose it could stiffen up.
I have used either and bees wax as a bare metal coating to prevent rust and
make surfaces slick, a very light oil in this mix might work.
On the Thompson's, I wonder if the fume level is the problem.

I heard somewhere of a guy melting a toilet bowl wax ring into some oil and
using it.It sounds like it could work but I don't know the oil to use.Maybe
boiled linseed oil?This could be a formula for a cheap but good canvas
coating.
