About This Item A natural linseed oil (from the extract of flaxseed) is blended with driers to improve drying times. Boiled Linseed penetrates unsealed wood leaving a natural, water-resistant finish with a slightly enhanced colour that darkens slightly with age. For oiling many types of bare wood mainly for internal use and Woodcare applications. (Not suitable for Oak, furniture or flooring). A traditional treatment to seal terracotta tiles and other porous substrates. Can be mixed with burnt sand to form a caulking to fill gaps between timber and masonry. Application: Brush or lint-free cloth Coverage: 1 litre to 8-10 sq metres How to Use Shake oil well before use. Keep container upright at all times Ensure wood to be treated is dry, free from dirt and repellant coatings such as wax, paint and varnish (remove and sand down as required) Apply minimum 3 coats leaving 12-24 hours between each coat and a minimum of 2-4 days after the final coat before using the treated item. For best results on new woods, dilute the first two coats with 30% Barrettine Turps/White Spirit If used outside, we recommend a prior application of wood preservative treatment that must be allowed to dry before applying Boiled Linseed Oil. Regular retreatment will be required. Ideal for most bare woods with the exception of oak where darkening could occur. Clean equipment with Barrettine White Spirit Precaution: cloths used for oiling may spontaneously combust. Immediately after use, soak them in soapy water then lay them flat outside on a non-combustible surface to dry
