Full details

Bartoline Raw Linseed Oil is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a traditional, water-resistant protective treatment for softwood garden furniture, wooden sports equipment, musical instruments, and porous stone floors like terracotta. It provides a natural, deep-penetrating finish that preserves the life of the material; however, users should be aware that it requires a long drying time of approximately one week and is not suitable for dense hardwoods like Oak or Teak.

FAQs

Can I use this on Oak or Teak?

No. Raw Linseed Oil is not suitable for dense hardwoods like Oak or Teak. These require specific Teak Oils designed for high-density timber.

How long does it take to dry completely?

While it may feel touch-dry sooner, it requires approximately one week to fully cure and harden.

How many coats should I apply?

For optimal results, apply two or three coats, waiting 24 hours between each application.

Is it safe for indoor furniture?

Yes, but ensure the room is well-ventilated during the application and drying process due to the natural odor of the oil.

Can I use it on painted wood?

No. The wood must be stripped back to the bare, untreated surface for the oil to penetrate effectively.

How do I safely dispose of the used rags?

Wash them thoroughly in soapy water to remove the oil, then dispose of them outdoors in a non-flammable, sealed container.

Troubleshooting

The surface remains sticky after 24 hours

You likely applied too much oil. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth dampened with a small amount of white spirit to remove the excess tackiness.

Oil is not penetrating the wood

The wood may still have a factory finish or old wax present. You must sand the surface more thoroughly to open the wood pores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water resistance for softwoods and stone
  • Provides a natural, non-synthetic look
  • Easy to apply with simple hand tools
  • Highly versatile for both interior and exterior use
  • Economical bulk sizing for major renovations

Cons

  • Extended drying time of up to seven days
  • Requires careful disposal of oil-soaked cloths to prevent fire
  • Not suitable for dense hardwoods such as Oak or Teak
  • Does not contain UV inhibitors, so it may yellow or fade in direct sunlight over long periods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the area is well-ventilated. The surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. If the surface was previously painted or stained, you must sand it down to bare wood to allow for proper absorption.

  1. Preparation: Wipe the surface with a dry, clean cloth to remove surface dust.
  2. Application: Apply the oil using a lint-free cloth or a brush, working in small sections.
  3. Removal: After roughly 10-15 minutes, use a separate clean cloth to wipe away any oil that has not soaked into the material.
  4. Curing: Allow 24 hours between coats and ensure the item remains untouched in a dry place for at least one week to allow the oil to fully cure.

Important Safety Note: Cloths soaked in linseed oil are a known fire hazard due to spontaneous combustion. Always wash application cloths thoroughly in soapy water immediately after use and dispose of them safely outdoors in a sealed metal container.
