FAQs

Is Bartoline Raw Linseed Oil suitable for all types of wood?

It is suitable for most wood types. However, hardwoods like Oak and Teak are best treated with a specific Teak Oil. It is also effective on stone floors like terracotta.

How long does it take for the oil to dry?

The oil will be touch-dry within 24 hours between coats, but it can take approximately one week to fully cure and harden.

What is the fire risk with used cloths?

Used cloths soaked in linseed oil can spontaneously combust. Always wash them immediately with soapy water and dry them flat outdoors away from heat sources before disposal.

Can I use this on a previously painted or varnished surface?

No, the surface must be bare wood. All previous paint or varnish layers must be completely removed by sanding before application.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results, 2 to 3 coats are recommended, allowing adequate drying time between each application.

Can I use this on exterior garden furniture?

Yes, its high water-resistant properties make it ideal for protecting garden furniture from the elements.

How do I clean my tools after use?

Clean all application equipment, such as brushes and cloths, thoroughly with White Spirit.

Troubleshooting

Surface remains tacky or sticky after application.

Excess oil was not removed properly. Gently wipe the surface with a clean cloth dampened with White Spirit. Allow to dry thoroughly. Ensure proper ventilation during drying.

Wood does not appear to be absorbing the oil.

The wood may be sealed or have a previous finish. Ensure all old finishes have been completely removed by sanding and the surface is porous. Re-sanding might be necessary.

Slow or incomplete drying.

Ensure application is not too thick and excess oil has been wiped away. Improve ventilation in the application area. Drying times can vary significantly based on temperature, humidity, and wood type.

White marks or blooming appear on the surface.

This can be caused by moisture trapped under the oil. Ensure the surface was completely dry before application and allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
  2. If previously painted or stained, remove old finishes by sanding the surface. A medium-grit sandpaper is usually sufficient.
  3. Wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with White Spirit to remove any remaining grease, dirt, or dust.
  4. Treat any mildew or algae with a suitable Fungicidal Wash and allow to dry completely.

Application:

  1. Apply Raw Linseed Oil using a clean, lint-free cloth. Work the oil well into the wood grain.
  2. Wipe off any excess oil immediately to prevent a sticky residue.
  3. For best results, apply 2 to 3 coats, allowing at least 24 hours of drying time between each coat.
  4. The oil will take approximately one week to fully cure and harden.

After Care:

  • Fire Hazard Warning: Soiled application cloths soaked with linseed oil can spontaneously ignite. Immediately after use, wash all cloths thoroughly with soapy water and spread them out flat to dry outdoors, away from any ignition sources. Dispose of them safely once dry.
  • Clean application equipment (brushes, cloths) with White Spirit.
  • Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
