Overview

Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil is a high-quality wood treatment that offers a faster drying time compared to raw linseed oil, thanks to its unique process of having hot air passed through it. Suitable for use on all types of wood, except exterior oak, this oil provides a traditional, hard-wearing finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. It's also an excellent sealer for terracotta and stone floors, offering durable protection. Ideal for achieving a classic, long-lasting finish on wood and flooring surfaces. 

• Hard wearing and long lasting finish
• Enhances natural colour of timber
• Excellent sealer for terracotta & stone floors

Preparation

Ensure the area to be treated is clean and free from dust, debris, and grease.

• All previous finishes must be removed prior to application, this can be done by sanding or using an appropriate stripper.

Application

• Dilute the first few coats of Boiled Linseed Oil with up to 30% turpentine for easier application.
• Apply the mixture by rubbing it into the wood with a lint-free cotton cloth.
• After 20 minutes, wipe away any excess oil using a clean lint-free cloth to ensure proper absorption and avoid a sticky surface.
• Repeat the process once or twice, allowing 24 hours between each coat.
• Apply a final undiluted coat of Boiled Linseed Oil, wiping off any excess.
• Let the final coat harden for several days before using the surface.
• For best results, lightly rub between coats with Liberon Ultrafine Steel Wool (Grade 0000).
• If the surface gets damaged, simply apply a fresh coat of oil.

Aftercare & Storage

• Store Liberon Boiled Linseed Oil at a temperature above 5°C. Always replace the lid otherwise the oil can deteriorate.
• Maintenance: wipe surface with a damp cloth and buff dry. Re-oil as and when required depending upon usage.
• If the excess is not removed and the surface becomes sticky, wipe with white spirit to remove the sticky film and allow to dry before continuing.
• CAUTION: Risk of self-combustion. Wet with water any textiles or tools soiled with the product and dispose of them in a tightly closed container.
• Important: oil finishes bring out the natural colours of timber. A wet surface will be an indication of the final colour. Always test product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result.
• Remove as much of the oil as possible from the tools after use. Do not dispose of residues and washing water/solvents in the sink, toilet, sewer, bin, etc., in order to avoid discharge into the environment.
