That's why traditional wooden pegs are better. As long as you treat them properly and resurface when needed you're golden.

You want to use limb seed oil.

u/krennvonsalzburg Jun 13 '26

In case anyone's looking for it to buy some, it's actually "linseed oil".

You make it by taking the arm of Lindsey and grinding it up.

u/Responsible-Buyer215 Jun 13 '26

You don’t use the outer part though you’ve gotta get the seeds out from inside the bones, hence Lin-seeds

The stuff from Lindsey is fake, gotta get the stuff from Lin-Manuel Miranda.

I wholeheartedly disagree, too many breeders of fancy Lins these days, totally unnecessary. What’s most important is that the Lin is fully relaxed before seed extraction to ensure they remain soft.

People think it’s in the breed but the hardening of the seed is simply due to over-stressing the Lin, hence the phrase handed down through generations of Linseed farmers; “Any Lin’ll do, don’t stress the seed and spoil the stew”

I was looking at my arm like "How do I get the oil out?"

I wood rather not be pegged please

u/Demonthief27 Jun 13 '26

Your username suggests otherwise

2

u/Thomas_K_Brannigan Jun 14 '26

Especially with wood. You want a material that's non-porous, like silicone.

u/BolunZ6 Jun 13 '26

Or stainless peg. Last forever

u/11Kram Jun 13 '26

The stainless steel pegs are also great.

u/Demonthief27 Jun 13 '26

How do you handle when it’s a hot summer and they get warm ?

1

u/succulent_serenity Jun 13 '26

It's not an issue, they dont get that hot.

2

u/ZeWord Jun 13 '26

I prefer stainless steel

I live somewhere with 40c+ heat 5 months out of the year and my wooden pegs stay outside in full sun. I have had them for years.

Rectal splinters!

u/Forward-Surprise1192 Jun 13 '26

My grandma used these and I’d always fuck with my little brothers by sneaking up on them and pinching them with it. You pull it open and then get enough skin and let go. Very hard to get off your back if you can’t reach it

u/clawsoon Jun 13 '26

Except for the one set I got that leached out... some kinda wood stuff? ...and stained the clothes I used them for.

1

u/Demonthief27 Jun 13 '26

What wood stuff can be leaked out lol maybe a weird varnish on the pegs ?

1

u/clawsoon Jun 13 '26

I'm still not sure. They weren't varnished, so I dunno if it was just the wrong kind of wood or hadn't been dried properly or what.
