Boiled Linseed Oil – Liberon

Description

Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil is used to give a mellow, patinated finish to new or stripped bare wood. A superior quality oil, similar to Raw Linseed, but having had hot air passed through to improve drying times, it is suitable for use on all types of wood, except exterior oak. It is also recommended as a sealer for terracotta tiles and other porous surfaces before waxing.

Preparation 

Ensure that the surface to be treated is clean and dry. Any previous finish must be thoroughly removed before using Boiled Linseed Oil.

Application 

For ease of application dilute the first few coats with Liberon Pure 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 Liberon Ultra Fine Steel Wool (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 product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result.

Cleaning and maintenance 

Wipe surface with a damp cloth and buff dry. Re-oil as and when required depending upon usage.

Supplied – 250 ml and 500 ml containers.
