Full details

FAQs

Can I use this on Oak or Teak furniture?

No, Bartoline recommends using Teak Oil for hardwoods like Oak and Teak.

How long should I wait between coats?

You should allow 24 hours between each coat to ensure proper penetration and drying.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

All equipment, including brushes or rags, should be cleaned using White Spirit.

Is it safe to leave my rags in the workshop?

Absolutely not. Soiled rags are a fire hazard due to the risk of self-ignition. Wash them in soapy water and dispose of them outside immediately.

Can this be used on stone floors?

Yes, it is highly effective on porous stone, specifically terracotta tiling.

Does it require a primer?

No, Raw Linseed Oil acts as a penetrating treatment and does not require a separate primer.

Troubleshooting

The surface remains sticky long after application

This usually indicates too much oil was applied. Wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with White Spirit to remove the excess oil layer.

Oil is not penetrating the wood

Ensure the wood is not already sealed with a varnish or polyurethane. You must sand the surface until the raw fibers are exposed.

Surface feels rough after one coat

Apply a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper between coats to smooth out the wood grain fibers that may have risen.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent natural water repellent properties
  • Ideal for both wood and porous stone surfaces
  • Perfect for specialized items like musical instruments and sports gear
  • Provides a deep, rich finish

Cons

  • Long drying time (up to 7 days for full cure)
  • Not suitable for use on certain hardwoods like Oak or Teak
  • Requires careful disposal of materials due to self-ignition risks
  • Surface must be completely stripped of previous stains or paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is completely clean and dry. If the surface has been previously painted or stained, you must sand it down to the raw wood. Clean the surface with White Spirit to remove any residual grease. If mildew is present, treat the area with a Fungicidal Wash before beginning.

Application involves rubbing the oil in well with a clean, lint-free cloth. For optimal protection, 2 to 3 coats are recommended. After use, do not leave oily rags in a pile, as they can spontaneously combust. Wash all used cloths thoroughly in soapy water and dispose of them safely outside immediately.
