I've never built a wheel with linseed oil (I normally brush on some copper grease, and rarely have a problem), but after all this talk, think I might give it a go.
What's so special about it? Does it 'dry' to leave some sort of magical sticky nipple-gripping residue?
When it dries it turn into linoxyn that is both sticky and insoluble meaning that neither water nor degreaser, oil, alcohol or lubes will dissolve it, and the spoke will stay put :)
