Boiled linseed oil

Ideal for diluting linseed oil paint and treating wood.

Original cold-pressed, matured and boiled linseed oil. It’s what linseed oil paint is made from, so it’s the perfect thinner.

This linseed oil has faster drying times than raw linseed oil, however, so if you’re painting very dry, porous wood we’d recommend raw linseed oil instead.

Boiled linseed oil can also be used for oiling and surface-treating indoor wood giving a rich, mellow patina to stripped or bare wood. We also get asked if you can use linseed oil on its own (raw or boiled) to protect exterior timber. We wouldn’t recommend this as there is no protection from UV breakdown or mould growth because linseed oil is an organic product. We have, therefore, developed a Nourish Wood Oil which gives exterior timber the protection it needs with a clear finish. Or you can use our Exterior Linseed Oil Paint which has the protection from the colour pigments in the paint.

Available in 500ml (16.9 fl.oz.), 1L (33.8 fl.oz.) and 5L (1.32 gal.) sizes.
