Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil is a natural oil used to penetrate untreated wood and oiling many types of bare woods.

It containes driers which speeds up the drying process.

Boiled Linseed Oil can be applied to bare wood (except oak), stone steps, terracotta tiles, musical instruments and sports equipment such as cricket bats.

Barrettine Linseed Oil provides a beautiful warm mellow satin finish and can be used inside or outside with regular maintenance.

It leaves a natural, water resistant finish with a slightly enhanced colour that darkens slightly with age and it is child and food safe.

On new woods, use Barrettine White Spirit or Barrettine Genuine Turps to dilute the first two coats.

Can I use Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil on exterior wood?

Yes, Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil can be used on exterior wood surfaces. However, it is important to note that boiled linseed oil does not provide as much weather resistance as some other wood treatments. For optimal protection against the elements, it is recommended to use a suitable exterior wood preservative or topcoat in addition to the linseed oil.

Can I apply a topcoat over Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil?

Yes, after allowing the boiled linseed oil to fully dry, you can apply a compatible topcoat, such as varnish or lacquer, if desired. Ensure that the linseed oil is completely dry before applying the topcoat and follow the instructions provided by the topcoat manufacturer for the best results.

Is Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil food-safe?

No, Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil is not considered food-safe or suitable for use on surfaces that come into direct contact with food. It is primarily used for wood treatment and is not intended for food preparation surfaces or utensils.

How often should I reapply Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil?

The frequency of reapplication depends on several factors, including the type of wood, the exposure to weathering, and the level of wear and tear. As a general guideline, it is recommended to reapply boiled linseed oil every 6-12 months or as needed to maintain the desired appearance and protection of the wood.
