About


FOR INTERIOR WORK	DRYING TIME	NO HARMFUL FUMES	RECOMMENDED TOOLS

Boiled linseed oil is a natural product obtained through a special heating process. It creates a colorless coating that enhances wood structure and enriches its natural tone. The oil deeply penetrates the wood fibres, providing protection while still allowing the wood to breathe. Widely used in restoration. It dries significantly faster than untreated linseed oil.

Consumption: 5-8 m2/l unplaned wood, 8-12 m2/l planed wood, and 30-36 m2/l on hardwood, depending on the surface’s absorbency.

How to use

Shake and stir the container well before use and during the oiling process.

If you use whitened boiled linseed oil, the surface should be smooth and free of defects. The white pigment can accentuate any imperfections on the wooden surface.

Apply oil as evenly and thinly as possible across the surface. Allow the oil to soak for 15-20 minutes, then carefully remove any excess residue the wood has not absorbed.

Ensure that the oil is fully absorbed into the wood and feels dry to the touch after removing any residual oil.

After 24 hours* apply a second coat as thinly as possible. Carefully wipe off any excess oil residue.

*Before applying a second coat, make sure the first coat has fully dried.

WARNING! Cloths/pads soaked with oil can ignite spontaneously due to heat build-up! Therefore clean them immediately after use or store them under water. The product itself is not self-igniting.

TEST IT FIRST! Keep in mind that every wood is unique and may react differently depending on its species, age and treatment. That is why we recommend treating a sample first!

Deep protection

The key is in the fact that the small molecules of linseed oil allow it to deeply penetrate wood fibers, providing exceptional protection against moisture.

Where Do you produce?

Our family-owned oil factory is located in the small town of Iecava in southern Latvia. We are the largest producer of cold-pressed vegetable oils in the Baltics.

How long does the linseed oil stain coating last, and when is renewal needed?

Properly applied linseed oil stain in two coats on a vertical planed surface lasts on average 4-5 years, and on finely sawn wood, it lasts 5-8 years.

Restoration is simple – just clean the surface and apply a new coat. There's no need to sand off the old coating.

What to do if the oil has been applied too thickly, isn't drying, and the surface feels sticky?

If less than 48 hours have passed, try wiping off the excess oil with pine turpentine. If it's been a week or two, try to use white spirit. If that doesn’t work, the surface will need to be sanded and re-oiled. For personalized advice, please contact us at info@painteco.com and include pictures or a video.

When should I apply 2 coats, and when is 1 coat enough?

One coat is enough indoors on low-traffic surfaces like ceilings, walls, carvings, crafts, and toys. For outdoors, we recommend two coats. For example, apply the first coat to the facade boards while on the ground, and the second after the house is cladded. This helps protect the edges of the boards, screw areas, and more from moisture.

Do I need to use primer?

You can use a primer, but keep in mind that it may lighten the stain tone. It's best to apply the linseed oil stain in two coats. We typically recommend using a primer with linseed oil paint, not the stain.

How to speed up drying?

To speed up the drying of the stain, you can dilute it with turpentine by 10%-15%. It's important to carefully wipe off excess oil, ensure good ventilation, and maintain a temperature of around 20°C (+/- 2°C). In cold and damp air, the coating dries much slower.

Can the products be mixed together?

All our oils are fully compatible. Customers often mix them to create new shades or dilute them with our colorless products to achieve a lighter tone.
