Product Information

Full details

Bartoline Boiled Linseed Oil is an essential wood treatment for homeowners looking to maintain and protect soft wood garden furniture from environmental damage. It works by penetrating the wood fibers to prevent drying and cracking while leaving a natural, attractive sheen; however, it is strictly intended for softwood and should not be used on hardwoods like Oak or Teak, which require Teak Oil.

FAQs

Can I use this on my Oak dining table?

No. Bartoline Boiled Linseed Oil is intended for softwood. Hardwoods like Oak and Teak should be treated with Teak Oil.

How long should I wait between coats?

You should allow at least 24 hours between each coat to ensure the previous layer has properly cured.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Use White Spirit to clean all brushes and application tools immediately after you finish.

What is the best way to prepare the wood?

Remove any old paint or stain with sandpaper, then wipe the surface with White Spirit to remove grease and dirt. If mildew is present, treat it with a Fungicidal Wash first.

Are there fire risks associated with this product?

Yes. Soiled application cloths can self-ignite. Always wash cloths with soapy water after use and dispose of them safely outdoors.

Troubleshooting

The oil is not soaking into the wood.

Ensure all previous paint, stain, or varnish has been thoroughly sanded away to expose the bare wood fibers.

The surface feels sticky after 24 hours.

You may have applied too much oil. Ensure you rub the oil in well and always wipe away any excess that the wood cannot absorb.

The wood still looks dull after one coat.

Softwood can be very thirsty. Apply 2 or 3 coats, allowing 24 hours of drying time between each application for better saturation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces drying time compared to raw oil
  • Restores moisture to aged softwood furniture
  • Easy to apply with basic household tools
  • Provides a protective layer against sun damage
  • Excellent for seasonal maintenance of garden sets

Cons

  • Not suitable for hardwoods like Teak or Oak
  • Requires careful disposal of oil-soaked cloths to prevent fire risks
  • Needs 24 hours of drying time between multiple coats
  • Requires thorough surface preparation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best finish, preparation is critical. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of debris, old paint, or varnish, which should be removed via sanding. Use a cloth dampened with White Spirit to wipe down the wood before application.

Important Safety Note: Because Boiled Linseed Oil can be prone to spontaneous combustion when saturated in fabric, it is vital to wash all application cloths in warm soapy water immediately after use and dispose of them safely outside the home. Clean all brushes and tools with White Spirit immediately after finishing your project.
