Linseed oil as a wood finish and to protect the surface.
Linseed oil - 50ml dropper bottle
Oil the wood instead of varnishing it or varnishing it so that it really shines.
Oiling wood is quite simple and has many advantages. Oil the finished piece of furniture or wooden object has become a very popular type of surface design again.
If you oil a surface made of wood, it remains “breathable” i.e. it is not sealed. This means that any moisture that may have penetrated can be released again. So oiling the wood is particularly advisable when it is foreseeable that it can become damp or even wet.
The wood is fired up by oil, as it is so beautifully called. This means that the grain of the wood is emphasized. Often even very impressive. So if you have a particularly beautifully grained piece of wood, oiling is definitely recommended.
Scratches or the like that arise over time can be removed simply by sanding and then re-oiling. Completely different from painting wood, oiling wood turns the wood in connection with the oil into the surface of the wood. That means the deeper the oil penetrates the wood, the thicker the surface of the wood becomes. The wood continues to feel very naturally like wood.
There are now a lot of different oils on the market that are used for e.g. certain types of wood are intended. You can use linseed oil and hard oil for all types of wood.
Linseed oil is particularly suitable for indoor use, as it dries the fastest of all oils and is absorbed well into the wood.
The surface must also be prepared when using linseed oil or hard oil. So here, too, at the beginning is the If you have not already done so, the beginning is sanding the wood. Then it goes to the actual oiling.
In addition to the appropriate oil, you will also need turpentine oil, old cotton or linen rags. This can also be old T-shirts or something similar. If you want to brush on the oil - a brush, of course.
Apply the oil to the wood. You can do this with a brush or by carefully tipping the oil directly onto the wood and spreading it with a rag (but please carefully) or by tipping a little oil onto a rag and then spreading the oil on the wood. The oil application on the wood should be full. I.e. it shouldn't be absorbed straight away and still look damp.
After approx. 15-25 minutes, take a clean rag and wipe off any excess oil that has not been absorbed. You should do this very carefully, otherwise very sticky oil stains will develop that can hardly be removed.
Let the oiled wood dry overnight and repeat the process with a little less oil. Depending on how the wood is used, you can also oil a third and fourth time.
If your workpiece has become rough again after drying, simply apply the next layer of oil. Then take a fine sandpaper (approx. 240 or 320 grit), moisten the sandpaper with oil and sand your workpiece directly in the moist oil. Then wipe again thoroughly after 15 minutes as usual.
