Blackfriar Raw Linseed Oil

Description

Blackfriar Raw Linseed Oil. Penetrates deep into wood, nourishing it from within. Blackfriar Raw Linseed Oil is ideal for oak beams, cricket bats and bean canes and can also be used for softening putty, and as a lubricant for French Polish.

Preparation

• Ensure surface to be oiled is smooth, clean, dry and free from any surface contamination.
• For surfaces previously treated with oils or waxes clean back the surface to bare timber with fine wire wool and white spirit, working along the grain.

Application

• Ensure the product is thoroughly shaken prior to use.
• Apply oil liberally by brush or rag.
• Leave for a few minutes for the oil to absorb into the wood then wipe off any surplus.
• Allow the oil to dry overnight before using or recoating.
• When applying to new wood thin the first coat with 10% white spirit.
• Thinning – Maximum 10% white spirit.
• Coverage Rate: Up to 10 square metres per litre per coat. Will depend upon the porosity of the wood.
• Drying Time: Non-drying. The product is absorbed into the wood. Recoat after 12 hours.

Limitations

If used on exterior projects, very regular maintenance will be required to keep the wood nourished.
