Can I use this on Oak or Teak furniture?
No, this product is not recommended for hardwoods like Oak or Teak. For these types of wood, you should use a specialized product such as Teak Oil.
How many coats should I apply?
For the best results and optimal protection, it is recommended to apply 2 to 3 coats. Allow approximately 24 hours of drying time between each coat.
What is the drying time between coats?
You should allow at least 24 hours between applying coats to ensure proper drying and absorption into the wood.
How should I clean my application cloths after use?
Application cloths soiled with linseed oil can be a fire hazard due to spontaneous ignition. Immediately after use, wash all cloths thoroughly with soapy water and dispose of them safely outdoors.
How do I clean my equipment after using the oil?

Does this product offer UV protection?
While the oil protects wood from drying out due to sun exposure, it does not contain specific UV inhibitors for color protection. It primarily focuses on maintaining wood's structural integrity and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Wood remains tacky after application.
Excess oil was not removed properly. Wipe down the surface with a clean cloth dampened with White Spirit to remove the tacky residue. Ensure adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
Wood appears dull or dry after initial application.
The wood may have absorbed the oil quickly and requires further coats. Apply additional coats as per the instructions, allowing sufficient drying time between each.
