Linseed Oil

LINSEED OILS is a natural oil used as a natural wood finish and preservative, either alone or with other oils and solvents. With the inclusion of special driers, LINSEED OILS dry up to twenty times faster than the natural linseed oil, ensuring that the results will be quickly achieved.

Typical Characteristics

These characteristics are typical of current production. Whilst future production will conform to Swee Joo’s specification, variations in these characteristics may occur.

Usage

1. Protecting concrete or stone – For protecting concrete or stone from freeze/ thaw cycles and from salt and chemical damage, mix equal parts of Boiled Linseed Oils with paint thinner or mineral spirits. Concrete should be clean ,dry and free of oils or wax film. Apply one thin coat uniformly over the surface with a stiff broom or brush. Wait 24 hours and apply a second thin coat. Allow the coating to dry thoroughly before using the surface.
2. Coverage – Four litres of Boiled Linseed Oils and paint Thinner mixture will cover a surface area of 35 – 60 square meter with a single coat. Use a brush to apply evenly and do not allow the mixture to pool.
3. Protecting log cabins and wood panelling – Mix 1:3 volume ratio of paint thinner to Boiled Linseed Oils and apply evenly with a stiff broom or brush, taking care to remove any excess.
4. Furniture furnishing – Staining with Boiled Linseed Oils will give a warm golden tone to pine and maple. Porous woods and walnut will darken considerably if treated with Boiled Linseed Oils.
5. Oil finish  – A Boiled Linseed Oils finish is excellent for most woods because it creates a coating that is imprevious to water, heat, scratches and most stains, while not require waxing. Best effects are achieved when the wood is wipd down yearly with Boiled Linseeds Oils, taking care to remove any excess oil.
