Overview
Barrettine Boiled Linseed Oil is a blend of natural linseed oil, derived from flax seed and driers to improve drying time. It has a natural warm yellow/red tinge which is apparent when applying to wood, and naturally darkens with age. Suitable for most types of wood including wooden furniture, sports equipment such as cricket bats, musical instruments, terracotta tiles, stone steps and garden furniture.
Please Note: Barrettine state that this product is 'not suitable' for use on Oak as it may darken or blacken the wood. However, we've not heard of any problems from customers who have used this product on Oak.

Preparation
Areas to be treated should be clean, dry and free from traces of dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax and silicone.
Exterior Wood
Bare or Untreated Wood
- For areas affected by mould, algae or moss, use Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
- Sweep the area with a stiff broom or brush to remove all traces of surface dirt and debris
- Use a suitable cleaner to if required before oiling
- Treat with a suitable exterior wood preservative for the best protection
- If possible, preserve all sides including end grain prior to installation
Previously Finished Wood
Old coating type finishes such as paints, varnishes and varnish type stains must be fully removed back to bare wood before oiling. Depending on the condition and type of finish, it may require more than one attempt to fully remove the old coating.
- Ensure that all 'coating' type finishes have been fully removed to expose bare wood by either jet washing or using a dedicated paint stripper / remover
- Old oiled finishes should be lightly sanded or cleaned thoroughly with white spirit
Once the old finish has been completely removed / cleaned, refer to the preparation instructions for bare or untreated wood above.
New Wood
- Wipe down with Meths such as Barrettine Methylated Spirits and allow it to dry
Interior Wood
- Existing oiled surfaces can be lightly rubbed back with meths then fully cleaned
- Pre-existing varnishes and sealers must be completely removed via sanding or using a suitable product stripper / remover
- Use an appropriate wood filler if repairing small dents and holes
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
- Apply the Linseed Oil with a natural bristle brush or soft, lint-free cloth
- Work it into the wood in a circular motion, finishing off in the direction of the wood grain
- Allow 24 hours to dry for a thin coat; a medium coat may take 2-4 days to fully dry
- Apply additional coats as required in the manner described as above
Aftercare
Regular Cleaning
Oiled wooden surfaces can be regularly cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth and a suitable wood cleaner.
