Product Information
Full details
The Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil 500ml is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts seeking to achieve a traditional, mellow, and patinated finish on new or stripped bare wood. Its primary benefit is providing a hardwearing, natural-looking finish with improved drying times compared to raw linseed oil. A key consideration is its limitation for exterior oak. This superior quality oil also serves as an effective sealer for terracotta and stone floors before waxing.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate for Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil?
The coverage is approximately 1 litre per 8-10 square meters, depending on the porosity of the wood.
Can this oil be used on exterior wood?
No, this product is intended for interior use only and is not suitable for exterior oak.
How long does it take for the oil to dry?
The drying time is approximately 5 hours per coat. Ensure good ventilation for optimal drying.
Can I apply wax over the linseed oil finish?
Yes, once the linseed oil is completely dry, you can apply wax for an additional layer of protection and sheen.
How should I dispose of oily rags?
Oily rags can spontaneously combust. Spread them flat to dry outdoors or submerge them in water in a sealed metal container before disposal.
What is the difference between boiled and raw linseed oil?
Boiled linseed oil has had metallic salts added (or hot air passed through) to speed up the drying process compared to raw linseed oil.
Can I use this on engineered wood flooring?
It can be used on solid wood components but is generally not recommended for engineered wood or laminate flooring, as it may affect the glues or veneers.
Troubleshooting
Wood finish appears uneven or blotchy.
Ensure all excess oil was wiped off thoroughly after application. Apply additional thin coats if necessary, wiping off excess each time.
Oil is drying too slowly.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Avoid applying in excessively cold or damp conditions. Multiple thin coats dry better than one thick coat.
Surface remains tacky after drying.
This indicates excess oil was left on the surface. Gently abrade the surface with fine steel wool and wipe clean, then apply a very thin coat and wipe off immediately.
