FAQs
Can I use this on hardwood furniture like Oak or Teak?
No, Bartoline Boiled Linseed Oil is specifically recommended for soft woods. For hardwoods such as Oak and Teak, it is best to use a product designed for them, like Teak Oil.
How many coats of linseed oil should I apply?
For best results, 2 to 3 coats are recommended. Ensure you allow at least 24 hours of drying time between each coat for proper penetration and curing.
What is the drying time for this product?
You should allow approximately 24 hours of drying time between coats. The final finish will continue to cure over a longer period.
How should I clean my tools after using the oil?
Clean your brushes and any other equipment immediately after use with White Spirit.
What safety precautions should I take with application cloths?
Soiled application cloths can spontaneously ignite. Immediately after use, wash all cloths with soapy water and dispose of them safely outdoors. Do not leave them bunched up.
Can I apply this over existing paint or varnish?
No, the surface must be clean and dry. Any existing paint or stain should be removed with sandpaper before application.
Does this product protect against rain?
While it provides protection against drying out and enhances the wood's appearance, it is primarily a wood conditioner and dresser, not a waterproof sealant. For heavy rain protection, additional measures or products might be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Wood surface remains sticky after application
Too much oil was applied and not removed. Gently wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth. If the surface is still tacky after 24-48 hours, lightly sand the area and reapply a thin coat, ensuring all excess is wiped off promptly.
Wood looks dull or dry after application
The wood may require more coats or the oil did not penetrate sufficiently. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and clean. Apply an additional coat, allowing adequate drying time between applications.
Oil is not drying within 24 hours
Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperatures. Avoid applying thick coats. If still wet after 48 hours, there may be an issue with the product or surface preparation.
Mildew or mold reappears
Ensure all mildew was treated thoroughly with Fungicidal Wash during the preparation stage. Reapply Fungicidal Wash to affected areas and allow to dry completely before applying linseed oil.
