Info
- Superior quality oil, similar to Raw Linseed, but has had hot air passed through to improve drying times
- Ideal for use with all types of wood (except exterior oak)
- Provides a traditional hard wearing finish
- Traditional sealer for terracotta and stone floors
Application
For ease of application dilute the first few coats with turpentine (up to 30%). Rub well into the wood using a lint-free cotton cloth. After about 20 minutes, wipe off the excess with a clean lint-free cloth. Failure to do so will prevent penetration of future coats and leave a sticky surface. Repeat the previous steps once or twice at 24 hour intervals. Apply a final coat of Boiled Linseed Oil, again wiping off any excess. Allow this final coat to harden for a few days before use. A light rubbing in between coats with Ultra Fine Steel Wool (Grade 0000) will improve results. If the surface becomes damaged, work in a new coat.
Important?
Oil finishes bring out the natural colours of timber. A wet surface will be an indication of the final colour. Always test the product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result.
Cleaning and maintenance?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and buff dry. Re-oil as and when required depending upon usage.
Precautions?
Store Boiled Linseed Oil at a temperature above 5°C. Always replace the lid otherwise the oil can deteriorate.?Oily cloths can self-combust. Do not leave impregnated cloths in bundles. Before discarding the cloths lay them flat outside to dry to avoid a fire hazard.?If the excess is not removed and the surface becomes sticky, wipe with white spirit to remove the sticky film and allow to dry before continuing.
