Overview

Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil is a traditional oil suitable for all wood types. It helps the wood retain its natural moisture content which prevents cracking, shrinking and improves water repellency.

Ideal for front doors, oak beams, concrete and stone floors (including terracotta tiling). It is a popular product with wood-working enthusiasts, often being used as a lubricant for French polishing and perfectly suited to sports equipment and wooden musical instruments.

Please note: this product is not recommended for furniture or flooring

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

For areas affected by mould, algae or moss, use Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
Remove all traces of surface dirt and debris
Use a suitable cleaner to if required before oiling
Treat with a suitable exterior wood preservative for the best protection
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.

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
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

Wipe down with Meths such as Barrettine Methylated Spirits and allow it to dry

Interior Wood

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

Application

Always do a small test area before starting any project to check suitability and compatibility. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Apply to the wood with a soft lint-free cloth, thinly and evenly
Work the oil into the wood in a circular motion
Remove any excess linseed oil from the surface of the wood
Allow 3 days (72 hours) to fully dry
Apply additional coats as required in the manner described as above
Allow 7 days to dry thoroughly before using the treated item

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

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

Perfect colour and finish

This product was bought to stain a shelf in the dining room and was an almost perfect match to the dining table. Beautiful finish and way to apply

Excellent

First time I've used this particular product but I wish I'd found it sooner. My garden furniture looks like new.

Easy to use

Provided a good cover, does what it says on the tin

Good product, fair price

Does what it's supposed to do, happy with the product.

Product does what it says it will do.

It was my first time of treating wood. I wanted a natural product with no chemicals and the lady I spoke to over the phone told me it was natural. I was going to use my wood in a wet environment but I did not want any chemical treatment. I burnt my wood and used the oil as a final protection layer. So far, wood is doing well, no molds or anything. I recommend burning wood. It is a Japanese technique. After burning, coat it with this product for another layer of protection. Girl done well first time.

Just what I was looking for

I needed raw linseed oil for my recipe to clean an ancient & filthy dried out chest. This was perfect.

Great product!

This is a great oil at a competitive price with super fast p&p, can't go wrong!

You can't better a good old-fashioned remedy

We use this each autumn, mixed 50:50 with turps substitute, to preserve our willow fence. It does the job well.

Excellent service

prompt and efficient, used this company many times, fully recommend

Perfect for my requirements

I use for yearly treatment of outside storage room door.

Did the job OK.

There's not much one can say about linseed oil.

Good quality oil

Nothing much to say about product - linseed oil is linseed oil. The first delivery was quick and efficient , the second with an inferior delivery company, took days ... they would not leave it in suggested place, or with neighbour, had to collect in person from some shop a distance away. Heavy to carry home. Rubbish delivery service

Just the ticket for prolonging the appearance and life of my wood stuff.

Just the ticket for prolonging the appearance and life of my wood stuff. Price is good.

Does the job it is intended for.

Used diluted (50/50) with white spirit to preserve willow fencing.

Excellent natural wood finishing

Excellent natural wood finishing for woodturnery & treen (spoons, bowls, cutting boards, etc). Excellent price and fast delivery.

Very easy to apply and surprising how many uses it has.

Not used it yet, but looks fine.

v.good

Excellent service from the company. They're very communicative and the product arrived soon after delivery. The oil is good quality. It seems to soak in and dry (enough for a second coat) reasonably fast - maybe a day. If you're only using the linseed oil on wood it does tend to stain and mark quite easily, but depends on usage - we used for table tops and floors (!) No smell, easy to use oil. Applies with cloth or brush.

5 STAR ALL ROUND

Easy to apply and I am very happy with it. Used on 10 year old decking and much easier to use than lacquers which for me never seem to last. Have already reordered a couple of times, Great stuff with lovely finish.

very effective for bringing out the best in your wood

I used this on my wood cabin and oak flooring, restored a lot of the colour. Takes a day to dry but well worth the wait.

easy to use and great finished product

I used this Linseed oil to finish a wooden box mod I was making and when I applied with an old piece of fabric didn't take to long left to dry and has brought out the grain in the wood.

Very good quality,

I am very pleased with the products supplied and the level of service I have received has been fantastic.

I have used both raw and boiled linseed oil for some fifty years. It is the best

Use this product on hard wood for best results. And for oil painting if this is your bag. The boiled oil can be used also but it contains driers and doesn't penetrate the timber as well as the raw.

Excellent

I needed my order urgently to complete a job and it arrived first thing the next day, which was a Saturday. Very happy!

i apply linseed oil to my garden furniture every 3-4 yrs

application is easy. the aroma is good and it reminds me of cricket bats, long since past.

it just what it says on the bottle

not much to say except that it seems to be good quality linseed oil and it arrived promptly. So everything is fine

Easy to use, worked well.

mixed with white spirit and dabbed onto the wood after sanding on the garden furniture.

Covered a lot of fence

Brushed on quickly and easily, probably only needed 1.5l for a 12m (45ft high fence).

Good quality

Easy website and speedy delivery with prior notification.

easy to apply, low odor

Great stuff, easy to apply, no smell, dries nicely within 48hrs and leaves a nice matt finish

Excellent Service

The Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil arrived the very next day and was great for my old teak garden table and new deck. Still have my door sills to do when time. Very good price too.
