BOILED LINSEED OIL

• Boiled Linseed Oil is not actually “boiled” like the name suggests, rather, it is chemically modified to encourage faster drying. Slow drying oils are a good thing, but regular linseed oil can take weeks or even months to fully cure in cold weather.

• Boiled Linseed Oil will dry in only a few days give or take depending on

• Boiled Linseed Oil is a great protectant for wood both indoors and outdoors. It beautifies any wood and, once cured, protects the wood from sun and water damage. It can really reinvigorate old dried out wood and bring it back to a healthy status.

The natural beauty of the grain on different wood species is nowadays more and more popular with consumers and linseed oil proves to be a good choice to showcase it. It deeply nourishes wood while providing a flexible protection that is waterproof, abrasion resistant and which will also resist to liquids such as alcohol, coffee and juice.

The best kind of linseed oil is double boiled or polymerized linseed oil. This oil has gone through a vacuum cooking process at high temperatures, which increases its viscosity and shortens its drying time significantly, compared to traditional raw or refined linseed oil. Double boiled or polymerized linseed oil is also used in oil-based paints and varnishes.

The powerful thing about an oil finish like Boiled Linseed Oil is its deep penetrating abilities. After application, the wood fibers draw the oil deep inside which protects not just the surface, but the whole piece of wood.

Wipe on a couple coats of Boiled Linseed Oil on furniture, trim, or any bare wood and let it dry until it is no longer tacky (usually 24-72 hrs).

The application is as simple as it gets and the results are more than worth the effort, which is why it has been used for hundreds of years by carpenters and refinishers.

Boiled Linseed Oil is used to give a mellow, patinated finish to new or stripped bare interior wood. It is a superior quality oil, similar to Raw or refined Linseed, but has had hot air passed through it to improve drying times.

Suitable for use on all types of wood, except exterior oak, it can also be used as a traditional sealer for terracotta tiles, stone floors and other porous surfaces before waxing.
