Full details

Bartoline Boiled Linseed Oil is an ideal wood treatment for those looking to maintain and protect soft wood garden furniture from sun-induced drying. This product delivers a durable, natural sheen by penetrating deep into the wood fibers and includes specific additives to ensure a faster drying time compared to raw alternatives; however, users should note that it is not suitable for hardwoods like Oak or Teak, which require specialized Teak Oil.

FAQs

Can I use this on my Oak dining table?

No. Bartoline Boiled Linseed Oil is specifically for soft woods. Hardwoods like Oak or Teak should be treated with Teak Oil.

How long should I wait between coats?

For best results, allow 24 hours of drying time between each coat.

How do I safely dispose of the rags used for application?

Wash them immediately with warm soapy water and dispose of them outside. Never leave oil-soaked cloths in a pile due to the risk of spontaneous combustion.

Do I need to sand the wood before applying?

Yes, if the surface has old paint, varnish, or stain, it must be sanded down to the bare wood for the oil to penetrate correctly.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Use White Spirit to thoroughly clean your brushes and application tools after the project is complete.

Troubleshooting

The surface remains sticky after 24 hours.

You likely applied too much oil. Wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with White Spirit to remove the excess oil.

The wood looks uneven after the first coat.

Soft wood often has varying porosity. Apply a second or third coat, ensuring you rub the oil well into the drier, more absorbent areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Accelerated drying time makes projects faster to complete
  • Provides a beautiful, natural aesthetic sheen
  • Protects soft wood from sun-related cracking and drying
  • Simple application process requiring basic tools

Cons

  • Not suitable for hardwoods like Teak or Oak
  • Requires careful disposal of oil-soaked cloths to avoid fire risks
  • Needs multiple coats for optimal weather protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure your wooden surface is entirely clean, dry, and free of previous paint or varnish by sanding if necessary. Use White Spirit to wipe away any lingering grease or debris. If mildew is present, treat the wood first with a Fungicidal Wash. Application requires a liberal coating; rub it in thoroughly and allow 24 hours between subsequent layers. Safety is critical: due to the risk of spontaneous combustion, never leave soiled cloths in a pile. Wash all application materials immediately with soapy water after use and dispose of them safely outdoors. Clean your brushes with White Spirit.
