It has a consisitency much like walnut oil, which I've been using lately. Thus the economy of using the hemp just isn't there...I found an industrial paint manufacturer's website where they showed hemp oil based house paint in their inventory...didn't bookmark it or I'd provide the link. Linseed and walnut and a few others dry much more quickly than hemp oil so, in my book, hemp doesn't have a whole lot going for it...costly and slow drying and not generally available...an interesting sietrip but ultimately not worth it.
I don't know if it could be converted to the consistency of stand oil...which is, for those not familiar with it, just linseed oil that's been heated to something like 500 degrees while it's in a vacuum chamber...it polymerizes and has a greater viscosity than plain linseed oil.
But to put my cynical wiseguy act aside, I have heard that hemp fabric is soft, durable and great for some folks with sensitivities...while I've never had the pleasure, I have heard that once you wear a shirt made of hemp everything else feels coarse by comparison. (desperately trying to drag thread back toward on-topic and apologizing abjectly for going OT in the first place)
Millar, if I recall, the review here said that they had poor service, help, and I beleive didn't even deliver what was ordered. Talk of the materials suitability for kilt making has been around (RKilts... did that ever get finalized). And one parting shot, the "Reefer" is from the buds of the female plant, whilst the fabric/twine comes strictly from the male plant, which contains no THC.
P.S. The thread may have been lost/deleted in the (now not-so) recent derver shift?
