I found a can of boiled linseed oil that is dated 1993. Use it or pitch it?
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.

Gotta confess - haven't used BLO for decades, however I think I remember if it hasn't hardened, it O.K. to use. Here's a similar question with replies from Sawmill creek. http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?115548-Linseed-oil-shelf-life
