Bartoline Boiled Linseed Oil 2 L, Fast-Drying Wood Protector for Softwood Garden Furniture and Interior Wood

Bought to oil a wooden gun stock. Easy to apply, soaks in and any surplus can be wiped off. Brings out the natural colour of the wood.

Great product does the job.

I bought this oil for my Karesuando knife handle which is made of birch. The handle after about 5 years of neglect and heavy use had lost it's original shimmer and has become very dry. For those that don't know the Karesuando brand they are not cheap knifes but should last a lifetime so I didn't want to end up in a situation where the handle would start to chip or split. Spent perhaps 5 minutes maximum with a rag and this oil working in small circular motions to oil the entirety of the handle and left it 24 hours or so before handling. The transformation was surprising the handle looks like it's brand new and the wood has it's shimmer back again and looks great. The reason why I only gave this oil four stars is due to the spontaneous combustion fire risk with this oil and yes there was a small warning notice on the bottle but no where near big enough!.... I am not usually one for airy fairy health and safety carry on but in this case I really must insist in warning anyone considering buying this oil and feel free to Google it yourself. The clothes / rags that are used with this oil can very easily and quickly spontaneously combust due to the oil heating up to a very high temperature and then setting fire to the clothe that it is on. So best advice is once finished oiling throw the rags used in a old bucket filled with water.

Gives a nice finish to the wood, seems to soak in well. Used on a summer house internal cladding. Smells nice .

Lovely, lovely linseed oil boiled. Well, its linseed oil and boiled but "lovely" is just my desperate attempt to make myself feel better about the many litres of this stuff I've gone though in my life. Things you can use it for: (*) Wood sealant for exterior timber: Rub it on the surfaces but dip the grain ends. (*) Wood sealant for interior timber that is likely to get wet. Apply as noted above. (*) Primer for wood before applying oil-based paints. (*) Primer for any frame that is to be puttied. Putty is also linseed-oil based and binds particularly well to wood that has been pre-treated with linseed oil. (*) Binder for concrete floors. It stops them being 'dusty'. (*) Sealant / binder for brickwork, again it stops surface dustiness. (*) Making pointing mastic, as used on lots of Mancunian terraces in the early 1900s. Boiled Linseed Oil is very definitely best applied in many thin layers. Rub it on with a cloth and then after 10 minutes or so, wipe away anything that hasn't soaked in, then let it dry for a day or so. Don't leave thick layers of it because such layers will feel tacky for at least five years (yes, that's personal experience speaking and I think it was actually eight years but I lost count after five). Grain ends can and will soak-up lots of oil, especially if the oil is warmed gently (i.e. to a bit warmer than body temperature, but no hotter). Drying is faster on warm days and outside. Boiled Linseed Oil is great for wooden surfaces that will get damaged in use, such as "solid wood" worktops. When the surface starts looking more manky than you can accept, sand it down and re-oil. Repeat for many, many years. Before buying, make sure you are buying "boiled" linseed oil. It is also possible to buy it "raw", the bottles and liquid are almost identical but the raw stuff takes longer to dry. In most cases you will want the "boiled" oil. Apply to surfaces with a rag, to cracks with a brush and to grain-ends by dipping. It washes off your hands fairly easily with soap and warm water but I usually wear disposable gloves. You might be alarmed by reports that rags soaked in Linseed Oil are a fire hazard and in that case some context might reassure you: Your home contains many items that are more inherently dangerous than rags soaked in linseed oil. For example: cigarette lighters, the oven and hob, the toaster, kitchen knives, a bath tub full of very hot water, power tools and your pet dog can all inflict serious harm if handled incorrectly. Similarly rags soaked in linseed oil are a fire hazard only in very specific circumstances. The primary risk factor with rags and linseed oil is that most people are unaware of the fire hazard and will naturally tend to do the one thing that you should never do which is chucking them away together. Here, then, is what you need to know: "Thou shalt not maketh bundles of rags soaked in Linseed Oil. Thou shalt maketh no neat folded piles nor unruly heaps. Thou shalt not gather oily rags together in any form. Your rags soaked in linseed oil shall not together enter the bin of waste. They shall not together enter the wheelie bin provided by the municipal council, nor the kitchen bin with a fancy pedal-operated lid nor shall they go into the cheap and nasty plastic paper basket you nicked from the pound shop when you were a teenager. In no form shalt thou make a collection of oily rags within your dwelling or without. Thou shalt not cast the scrumpled oily rags lazily into the corner of thy room, nor allow thy wife to make pretty piles ready for the morrow. And this shall be a lasting ordinance for thee and all those of thy household, thy wife and thy children and thy dog and thy man servant and thy maidservant and those who lodge with you permanently as if family and those who dwell beside you only for a season. And if you shall obey this command to make no bundles of rags soaked in linseed oil then it shall go well with you and you may die at an old age and full of years. But if thee or any of those in thy household shall disobey this command and shall make bundles of rags soaked in linseed oil or shall make neat pretty piles to impress the neighbours or shall throw them severally into the rubbish bin like dirty things then for thy folly and thy disobedience shall a great calamity come upon thee, and the bundle of rags soaked in linseed oil shall dry together exothermically and the heat from one shall be joined to the heat from another and their heat shall gather together within the bundle and the temperature therein shall rise exceedingly and the rags soaked in linseed oil that have been gathered into a bundle contrary to this law shall smoulder together whilst you slumber and their smoke shall rise to the heavens, or at least unto the ceiling (where, if you are sensible, you have already fitted a smoke-detector and alarm). And the heat within the bundle of rags soaked in linseed oil shall increase abundantly until flames shall issue forth and there shall be a terrible conflagration and thy home and all that is in it shall be consumed in the burning fire until nothing remains except the charred beams that shall proclaim thy folly and thy disobedience to the whole world. And thy former neighbours shall whisper to one another, and even speak boldly and aloud, saying one unto the other "here was the house of a person who made bundles and piles of rags soaked in linseed oil, and behold, nothing remains except the stench". An Internet search for "Linseed Oil spontaneous combustion" will bring you videos that will help you understand the risk. The hazard is easily avoided: just allow each rag to dry fully opened-out and by itself and there shall be no spontaneous fire. Alternatively, if you have a wood-burner or open fire just burn the oily rags directly under your supervision, and then you know for sure that they are gone and safe. As mentioned above, there are many things in your house more dangerous than linseed oil. The irony is that with rags soaked in linseed oil, the hazard is created by our natural desire to "tidy-up" the mess and quickly get rid of the rubbish.

Quick delivery excellent oil good price

Decent quality oil. I used this on a recently sanded wooden potion table and after a couple of coats it's come up beautifully and still waterproof after a season.

Item is fine but sadly the seller decided to increase the price by £2.50 just a week later during lock down.

Pour nourrir salon en teck

Amazing product, what adifference !!!

Tutto ok

Great!

L'huile est de qualité, rien à redire sur le produit en lui-même. Je n'ai pas mis 5 étoiles à cause de la bouteille et son bouchon de sécurité particulièrement énervant. Au point que j'ai transféré de l'huile dans un flacon en verre pour m'en servir. Si les fabricants de packaging pensaient aussi aux gens qui ont des problèmes de mains (force et/ou préhension) ce serait une bonne chose. Avis aux inventeurs.
