Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil

A traditional completely natural oil- from the extract of flax seed which penetrates unsealed wood leaving a natural, water resistant finish with a slightly enhanced colour that darkens slightly with age.

Use on- oak beams, bean canes, cricket bats, and many woodcraft applications and can be used as a lubricant in French Polishing (not suitable for furniture or flooring).

Application- Apply a minimum of 3 coats allowing 12–24 hours between coats. Leave the final coat to absorb / dry for a few days before use. For best results on new woods, dilute the first two coats with 30% Barrettine Turps/White Spirit Can also be used to soften putty and as a lubricant for French Polishing Mainly used for internal purposes but if used outside, we recommend a prior application of wood preservative treatment that must be allowed to dry before applying Raw Linseed Oil. Regular retreatment will be required.

Apply using- Brush or lint free cloth

Coverage- 1 litre to 8-10 sq metres Not recommended for furniture and flooring.
