Overview

Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil is a blend of natural linseed oil, derived from flax seed and driers to improve drying time. It has a natural warm yellow/red tinge which is apparent when applying to wood, and naturally darkens with age. Suitable for most types of wood including wooden furniture, sports equipment such as cricket bats, musical instruments, terracotta tiles, stone steps and garden furniture.

Please Note: Barrettine state that this product is 'not suitable' for use on Oak as it may darken or blacken the wood. However, we've not heard of any problems from customers who have used this product on Oak.

Preparation

Areas to be treated should be clean, dry and free from traces of dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax and silicone.

Exterior Wood

Bare or Untreated Wood

  1. For areas affected by mould, algae or moss, use Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
  2. Sweep the area with a stiff broom or brush to remove all traces of surface dirt and debris
  3. Use a suitable cleaner to if required before oiling
  4. Treat with a suitable exterior wood preservative for the best protection
  5. If possible, preserve all sides including end grain prior to installation

Previously Finished Wood

Old coating type finishes such as paints, varnishes and varnish type stains must be fully removed back to bare wood before oiling. Depending on the condition and type of finish, it may require more than one attempt to fully remove the old coating.

  1. Ensure that all 'coating' type finishes have been fully removed to expose bare wood by either jet washing or using a dedicated paint stripper / remover
  2. Old oiled finishes should be lightly sanded or cleaned thoroughly with white spirit

Once the old finish has been completely removed / cleaned, refer to the preparation instructions for bare or untreated wood above.

New Wood

Interior Wood

  1. Existing oiled surfaces can be lightly rubbed back with meths then fully cleaned
  2. Pre-existing varnishes and sealers must be completely removed via sanding or using a suitable product stripper / remover
  3. Use an appropriate wood filler if repairing small dents and holes

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

  1. Apply the Linseed Oil with a natural bristle brush or soft, lint-free cloth
  2. Work it into the wood in a circular motion, finishing off in the direction of the wood grain
  3. Allow 24 hours to dry for a thin coat; a medium coat may take 2-4 days to fully dry
  4. Apply additional coats as required in the manner described as above

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

Oiled wooden surfaces can be regularly cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth and a suitable wood cleaner.

Maintenance

Additional coats of Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil can be applied as and when the finish starts to look tired, worn or starts to lose its water resistance. Simply follow the Preparation and Application instructions above.

It’s linseed oil. And it dose the job.

I use linseed oil for many jobs, but mainly alongside button polish for polishing. And I also use it on handles of my garden tools and other tools with wooden handles as a preservative, over the years the tools gain a beautiful patina that only linseed will give you.

Boiled linseed oil is a good general finish, leaves a nice sheen and finish.

Painting wood with boiled linseed oil is enjoyable and satisfying.

I didn't know that painting wood with boiled linseed oil could be so enjoyable and satisfying. The natural pine of my cabin looks so much richer in colour. I'm going to keep buying more of this until the whole building is coated and looking beautiful.

Robust and versatile

Difficult to critique a can of oil except that this one definitely matches the advert claims. It leaves a lovely yellowy patina and is so easy to apply. I've used it on tannelised fence panels and it brings them up a treat; they have remained smart after two winters which is why I've stocked up again to treat all the planters in the garden. I love the smell too :)

Great finishing oil

Although it says on the label that it's not recommended to use this on oak, I used it on untreated, well sanded oak. Looks great! It does deepen the colour slightly (which is exactly what I wanted). Very happy.

Order arrived promptly, works just fine

Used to oil Oak, as per Futon Company's advice. Works fine, even though it's supposedly not suitable for oak. We've found coverage to be much higher than advertised (even on unfinished oak), so we ended up buying about twice what we actually needed (!)

Very good quality oil

I find that the oil is best applied by initially diluting with 4 parts of white spirit which assists absorption of the oil into the wood. The gloss starts to build up after each application. Further diluted coats will increase the gloss. Gives a beautiful finish on willow baskets, anything from a semi-lustre up to full gloss.

A joy to use

Easy, quick, and gives a lovely warm finish. Wish I'd discovered it before!

good applicating, finishing and durable product especially mixed (5%) with Barretine P. Wood Pres...

Have used Linseed oil on bare pine patio doors (initially 3 coats - 1st with 50/50 Barretine Clear ) facing S/W and subsequently 1 coat approx. 5-7 years for 20+ years. Still in V. good order but now have conservatory over it for 15 years. Learned this from an old Joiner Tradesman 60 years ago !!

Boiled Linseed oil is providing me with a delightful finish to my english oak wood panelling and ...

It is just what I required and is giving me a product that I can work with to give an excellent finsih to my project which is restoring a building first built in 1896. It has suffered much neglect over the years but boiled linseed oil as one of the products I am using is breathing life back into the wood of the building.

been usin linseed oil for years on commercial fishing boats, better than any varnish

linseed oil is the perfect preservative for a clean bright wooden finish, inside or out, no maintenance required just add another coat yearly to keep the wood new, better than all the water based products, and ideal for sheds that have not been treated, dont forget to buy it from 'wood finishes direct' their prices are reasonable and service is outstanding

Excellent service.

I found it a refreshing change in these times to experience an exceptionally good service from Woodfinishes Direct. They kept me fully informed throughout regarding the order and delivery. Delivery was exactly as promised. I will be using Woodfinishes Direct on a regular basis from now on. I have not yet had the opportunity to use the product but this came highly recommended to me by a wood finisher who uses the product all the time.
