Bartoline Linseed Oil Putty - Natural 2kg

This putty is specifically formulated for wood and primed metal frames and is not designed for use on UPVC or plastic window systems.

The putty forms a skin suitable for painting within 7-21 days, and the final coat of paint should be applied within 28 days. Full curing can take longer depending on environmental conditions.

Yes, it is designed for glazing frames, including exterior applications, provided the frames are properly primed and the putty is painted over once it has formed a skin.

While it can be used as a general wood filler, it is optimized for glazing. For very large or deep gaps, other dedicated wood fillers might be more appropriate, but for typical frame repairs, it is effective.

Linseed oil putty provides a rigid, paintable seal for glass in frames, ideal for traditional glazing. Silicone sealants are flexible and typically used for weatherproofing joints and gaps where movement is expected.

Yes, it is essential to prime the frame, especially the rebate, before applying the putty to ensure good adhesion and durability.

Ensure the product has been stored correctly. If too hard, try warming it slightly in a controlled environment (do not overheat). If too soft, it may indicate improper storage or age; consider replacement if consistency cannot be achieved.

Ensure application conditions are suitable (e.g., not excessively humid or cold). Check that the putty was applied to a dry, primed surface. If application was too thick, it may take longer to skin. Avoid disturbing the putty during the curing phase.

The putty may not have been applied with sufficient pressure or back bedding. Ensure setting blocks are correctly placed and the putty is pressed firmly against both the glass and frame rebate.

The paint may have been applied too soon before the putty had fully formed a skin. Ensure the recommended painting timeline (7-21 days for first coat) is followed and that the putty is sufficiently firm.
