About Linseed Oil
MADE IN SWEDEN The Scandanavian people have known about the unique properties of linseed oil for several thousand years. Linseed oil penetrates into wood, protecting it from moisture and rot.
Linseed oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the flax flower. This is done "cold" to prevent impurities getting into the oil.
The linseed oil is purified and refined through the addition of oxygen to produce boiled or "cooked" linseed oil. This process eliminates protein and improves aspects such as the drying time, shine and purity. Purified linseed oil is mold and mildew-free.
Uses:
- Thinning of linseed oil paint
- Maintenance of old linseed oil painted surfaces
- May be used to nourish or as a first coat on extremely dried out wood
- Add a few ounces of paint to the boiled linseed oil to create a stain
- Purified raw linseed oil is excellent for long term storage of paint brushes
