Linseed Oil is extracted from the flax seed and is very safe to work with. In its natural state it is suitable for human consumption (and has some medicinal purposes). It has a natural warm yellow tinge and indeed it adds this look to your wood which naturally darkens with age. It is totally safe for children's items as well as all surfaces which may come in to contact with food.
Rather than being boiled, certain solvents are added to improve its drying time which make it act as though it has been boiled so technically it should be known as 'sort of like boiled linseed oil' !
There are a whole host of uses for this product - here are a few: It is suitable for all types of wood, making it very popular with hobbyists, makers of small items (such as fruit bowls) as well as sports equipment, such as cricket bats and snooker cues and some instruments. It is very water resistant and can be used for outside furniture and front doors. Even table tops and food preparation surfaces can be effectively finishes with Boiled Linseed Oil.
However, mainly due to the very slow drying/curing time of this product, it is not so popular with the larger businesses and for commercial applications for practicality reasons.
Boiled Linseed Oil can be used for outside use but we do recommend using a wood preservative beforehand to avoid mildew occurring at a later date. Mildew and algae can further be prevented by applying Raw Linseed Oil to all of the surfaces including all the undersides.
Excess Linseed Oil can be removed with white spirit.
Our Linseed Oils are also great for terracotta tiles, concrete and stone items, such as, steps and garden furniture. |
