Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil 500ml

A traditional completely natural oil from the extract of flax seed which penetrates unsealed wood leaving a natural, water resistant finish with a slightly enhanced colour that darkens slightly with age. For use on oak beams, bean canes, cricket bats, and many woodcraft applications and can be used as a lubricant in French Polishing (not suitable for furniture or flooring).

APPLICATION
Apply a minimum of 3 coats allowing 12–24 hours between coats. Leave the final coat to absorb / dry for a few days before use.

For best results on new woods, dilute the first two coats with 30% Barrettine Turps/White Spirit

Can also be used to soften putty and as a lubricant for French Polishing

Mainly used for internal purposes but if used outside, we recommend a prior application of wood preservative treatment that must be allowed to dry before applying Raw Linseed Oil. Regular retreatment will be required.

Application: Brush or lint free cloth
Coverage: 1 litre to 8-10 sq metres
Not recommended for furniture and flooring.

Preparation & Application
