Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is key for optimal results. Ensure the wood surface is clean and completely dry before application. Sand down any old paint or stains. For greasy surfaces, wipe down with White Spirit. If mildew is present, treat it with a suitable Fungicidal Wash before proceeding.
Application:
- Apply the Boiled Linseed Oil liberally using a clean cloth or brush.
- Rub the oil well into the wood grain.
- Wipe away any excess oil that sits on the surface.
- Allow a minimum of 24 hours for each coat to dry before applying the next.
- For best protection, apply 2-3 coats.
Compatibility: This product is best suited for *soft woods*. It is not recommended for hardwoods like Oak and Teak.
Cleaning: Clean application tools immediately after use with White Spirit.
After Care: *Crucially*, any cloths or rags used to apply or wipe away linseed oil must be washed immediately with soapy water and then disposed of safely outdoors. This is because they can spontaneously combust as the oil dries and oxidizes.
