Yes it seems like a very flawed assumption to assume that the other uses of linseed oil would make flaxseed oil a perfect candidate. I've never tried it. Personally I just use canola oil but it can leave a sticky residue as the author says. It lessens if I heat it for a longer time, but I just store it wrapped in a cloth anyway.
