Description

Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil is used to give a mellow, painted finish to new or stripped bare wood. A superior quality oil, similar to Raw Linseed, but having had hot air passed through to improve drying times, it is suitable for use on all types of wood, except exterior oak. It is also recommended as a sealer for terracotta tiles and other porous surfaces before waxing.

Boiled oil is not actually boiled.. It has had hot air passed through it which improves the product’s drying time, typically from Raw Linseed oil of around 4 days to Boiled oil drying in around 24 hours.

Application

For ease of application dilute the first few coats with turpentine (up to 30%).
Rub well into the wood using a lint-free cotton cloth. After about 20 minutes, wipe off the excess with a clean lint-free cloth. Failure to do so will prevent penetration of future coats and leave a sticky surface.
Repeat the previous steps once or twice at 24 hour intervals.
Apply a final coat of Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil, again wiping off any excess. Allow this final coat to harden for a few days before use.
A light rubbing in between coats with Ultra Fine Steel Wool (Grade 0000) will improve results.
If the surface becomes damaged, work in a new coat.

Important

Oil finishes bring out the natural colours of timber. A wet surface will be an indication of the final colour. Always test the product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and buff dry. Re-oil as and when required depending upon usage.

Precautions

Store Boiled Linseed Oil at a temperature above 5°C.
Always replace the lid otherwise the oil can deteriorate.
Oily cloths can self-combust. Do not leave impregnated cloths in bundles. Before discarding the cloths lay them flat outside to dry to avoid a fire hazard.
If the excess is not removed and the surface becomes sticky, wipe with white spirit to remove the sticky film and allow to dry before continuing.
