Boiled Linseed Oil

Preparation and method of application are essential for great results:

  • 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
