Unlike other linseed oils, our Boiled Linseed oil is very unique its been boiled twice and hot air is passed through it to ensure it dries faster and provides a harder wearing coating to the surface.

It’s fantastic for terracotta tiles and porous stone providing a barrier of protection for interior and exterior surfaces.
When used as a wood finish, linseed oil dries slowly and shrinks little upon hardening. Linseed oil does not cover the surface as varnish does, but soaks into the (visible and microscopic) pores, leaving a shiny but not glossy surface that shows off the grain of the wood. A linseed oil finish is easily repaired.
