Langlow Raw Linseed Oil extended information
Coverage: Depending upon the texture and porosity of the timber, LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL when applied as a thin single coat on a smooth hardwood surface will cover at the rate of about 1 litre per 3 to 4 square metres, either by brush or smooth cloth method.
LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL is a natural linoleic oil wood treatment suitable for use on all types of soft and hardwood timber structures and garden furniture and leisure equipment such as willow cricket bats, hard and softwood patio chairs, tables, window boxes and trellis work, leaving a matt appearance, raising the grain profile, whilst also protecting against the damaging effects of weathering and prolonged outdoor exposure. LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL will readily soak in and penetrate un- polished, bare timbers to restore the original appearance and highlight the natural grain structure of the timber surface. Repeat applications will improve the oily feel of the timber preventing the wood from drying out and cracking, but will not affect the natural matt appearance of the bare timber. LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL is also used as an essential natural lubricant and additive when applying LANGLOW FRENCH POLISH to ornate furniture and decorative timber surfaces.
PREPARATION
Ensure all timbers are structurally sound, dry and free from surface contamination. Children and pets should also be kept away from treated timbers until they are completely dry. To get the full benefit of this treatment, timbers previously treated with polish, varnish or surface sealer should be weathered and stripped back to bare wood before applying with this product. Prior to applying LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL timbers should be completely wiped clean with a cloth soaked in white spirit and then allowed to dry so they are completely free from absorbed moisture. Application should only proceed in a dry environment where the wood can be protected from moisture for at least 24 hours after application.
APPLICATION METHOD
LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL can be applied by brush, chamois leather or smooth sponge block, working with an even coating action over all areas of the timber to achieve a regular consistent finish. Care should be taken to avoid over applying this product as this will lead to prolonged drying and excessive surface oiliness. Saturated oil should be wiped clear to ensure a thin even layer is applied with each coat. Drying times will depend greatly upon timber porosity, temperature and humidity and care should be taken to avoid contact with treated surfaces until they are thoroughly dry to the touch. Generally on a smoothfinished timber surface at a temperature of about 20°C, one coat of LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL evenly applied will take up to 24 hours to dry in well-ventilated conditions.
LANGLOW RAW LINSEED OIL can be removed from brushes or surrounding surfaces by simply washing with LANGLOW WHITE SPIRIT, or LANGLOW BRUSH CLEANER.
