Intended for: Outdoors on wood, sheet metal and iron. Excellent also on top of old linseed oil paint. Indoors on planed wood surfaces and joinery, plaster, iron and similar materials. Suitable for both dry and damp areas.
Gloss: Glossy as freshly painted, but goes down to semi-gloss after a few months. Can be matted faster by adding solvent in the last coat.
Thinner: Can be thinned with boiled linseed oil and/or turpentine. If you want to avoid thinners completely, just spread the paint thinner.
Linseed oil: Boiled, cold-pressed linseed oil of the best quality, produced in unbroken tradition in the same factory since 1839. Boiled according to tradition to minimize mold growth.
Painting instructions: Follow the instructions on the can or read our articles in Building Care – Do it yourself here.
Durability: Linseed oil paint ages through abrasion, chalking and weathering. Because linseed oil paint thins itself, there is no need for laborious scraping and removal with chemicals on the day you want to repaint or improve the paint. The normal span between repainting is ten to fifteen years. However, if you live in an area with a lot of moisture and other external influences or have painted with a light color, you can expect to repaint more often.
Care and storage: Unlike water-based paint, linseed oil paint can be stored in cold and frosty conditions. In a tightly sealed jar, linseed oil paint lasts virtually indefinitely. The pigment may have accumulated at the bottom and if air has entered the jar, a skin may have formed. Carefully cut around any skin and gently lift it away. Stir the remaining paint together until it is smooth and even. If the pigment has crystallized, i.e. formed small grains, you can try straining the paint through a nylon stocking. A tried and tested painting trick.

The course of the painting
Priming: Prime with the paint thinned with about 10% turpentine. Outdoors, special primer, called zinc white primer, is required for light colors.
Intermediate coat: Intermediate coat with the paint thinned with 5% turpentine.
The final coat is applied with undiluted paint. If you want to avoid gloss in the paint, you can also thin the final coating with about 5% turpentine.
Suitable painting weather: Paint in temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius. At lower temperatures the paint dries slowly and easily becomes too thick. The moisture content of the wood should be below 15%. Do not paint in direct sunlight.
Drying time: Dries indoors after one day, overpaintable after two. Dries outdoors after two days, can be painted over after three. If the paint has not dried within this time, it is probably too thick.
Equipment: Linseed oil paint is applied with a round, stiff and dense natural bristle brush. The paint is “smoothed” with a flat paintbrush. Do not roll. Do not spray.
Brush washing: Wash in turpentine, then in linseed oil soap and water. Save on washing by storing used brushes in raw linseed oil instead.
Storage: Almost unlimited storage time in a well-filled jar. Place the jar upside down to prevent air from entering. Store in a cool place. Can withstand frost. Stir well, as some pigments sink and a sediment forms.
Glaze: The paint can be used as a glaze on clean wooden surfaces indoors and outdoors, if diluted with 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 turpentine. As a base, a half-oil of 50% boiled linseed oil and 50% turpentine is recommended.
Tips! Many people paint linseed oil paint too thickly and with brushes that are too thin. This causes the paint to run, wrinkle and have difficulty drying. So paint thinly and with good brushes! You can find lots of other good advice and tips for painting with linseed oil paint in our articles.
ATTENTION! Rags soaked in linseed oil paint can spontaneously combust. Therefore, put them in water or burn them.
