Base Coat Reducer 20L

Boiled Linseed Oil is a clear or pale yellow liquid commonly used for treating and preserving wood surfaces. It enhances the natural beauty of wood while offering protection against water damage, wear, and decay. When applied, it penetrates deeply into the wood, sealing it from moisture and leaving a smooth, polished finish. Unlike Raw Linseed Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil contains additives that help it dry much faster, making it ideal for indoor use. However, it is important to note that due to these additives, it should not be used for any food-related purposes, such as feeding animals like horses.

Common Applications

Tool Handles and Gun Stocks: It enhances the durability of wooden tool handles and gun stocks, offering protection against the elements and wear over time.

Wooden Floors: Suitable for both hardwood and softwood floors, this oil provides a water-resistant finish that protects floors from damage caused by spills and foot traffic.

Paint Additive: Boiled Linseed Oil can be added to oil-based paints to increase their gloss and smooth application, giving painted surfaces a sleek, professional finish.

Antique Furniture Refinishing: It is ideal for restoring the appearance and durability of antique wooden furniture, making old pieces look as good as new.

Customers are encouraged to review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for full safety information and guidelines on how to use the product effectively.

By following these usage and safety guidelines, Boiled Linseed Oil can serve as an effective solution for protecting and preserving wooden surfaces.
