FAQs
Can I use this on painted wood?
No, Bartoline Raw Linseed Oil is designed for bare wood or previously oiled surfaces. Paint or varnish must be removed first.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results, apply 2 to 3 coats, allowing 24 hours between each application.
What is the total drying time?
Each coat requires 24 hours to dry, but the oil will take approximately 1 week to fully cure and harden.
Is this product suitable for food contact surfaces?
This product is not specifically rated for food contact surfaces. For such applications, consult a product designed for that purpose.
What should I do with used application cloths?
Soiled cloths are a fire hazard and must be washed immediately with soapy water and disposed of safely outdoors.
Can I use this on exterior wood?
Yes, it is ideal for exterior wood like garden furniture due to its water-resistant properties.
Why should I use Teak Oil on Oak or Teak?
Oak and Teak are hardwoods that have specific oil requirements. Teak Oil is formulated to better penetrate and protect these dense timbers.
Troubleshooting
Wood finish appears uneven or patchy
Ensure excess oil was removed thoroughly after each application. Apply another thin coat and remove excess quickly.
Oil is taking too long to dry
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Check ambient temperature and humidity; avoid applying in cold or damp conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation.
White residue or bloom appears on the surface
This can happen if excess oil was not removed. Gently wipe the surface with a cloth slightly dampened with White Spirit. Allow to dry fully.
Surface remains sticky after a week
The surface may not have been properly prepared or has poor ventilation. Ensure all excess oil was removed and the area has good airflow. If necessary, lightly sand and reapply a thin coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation
Before application, ensure the surface to be treated is clean and dry. Remove any old paint or stain by sanding. For optimal adhesion and finish, wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with White Spirit to eliminate grease and dirt. Address any mildew or fungal growth with a dedicated Fungicidal Wash.
Application
Apply Bartoline Raw Linseed Oil using a clean, lint-free cloth. Rub the oil into the wood thoroughly and then remove any excess. For the best results and maximum protection, apply two to three coats, allowing a full 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The oil will require approximately one week to fully harden and cure.
Compatibility
This product is suitable for all wood types and stone floors, including terracotta tiling. It is particularly recommended for garden furniture, wooden sports equipment, and musical instruments. Note: For hardwoods such as Oak and Teak, Teak Oil is the recommended product.
Care and Safety
Immediately after use, wash all application cloths thoroughly with soapy water. Dispose of used cloths safely outdoors, as they can be prone to spontaneous combustion (self-igniting) if left folded or in a pile. Clean application equipment promptly with White Spirit.
