About Allback Purified Organic Linseed Oil
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 pressed from the seeds of the flax flower. This
is done "cold" to prevent impurities getting into the
oil.
The
raw 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. Allback purified linseed oil is mold
and mildew-free.
Uses: 1) Thinning the linseed paint. 2) Maintenance of old
linseed painted surfaces. 3) May be used as a first coat on extremely
dried out wood. 4) Add a few ounces of paint to the boiled linseed
oil to create a stain. 5) Excellent for long term storage of paint
brushes.
Tip: You can heat with gentle, infrared heat (we
recommend the Silent
Paint Remover) to boost surface penetration.
NOTE: Rags soaked in linseed oil are liable to self-ignite.
Soak them in water and dispose of them.
