Linseed oil as a timber coating:
- To reduce the long drying time, coat timber when it is dry, in a dry atmosphere, where rain is not expected for a week, and add mineral turpentine at 1:1.
- Raw vs. "boiled" linseed oil: the raw form soaks into timber better. The "boiled" form creates a harder surface.
- It is not UV resistant, and can support timber-feeding organisms like mould or mildew.   kellyjones00 (593)
