Paint with linseed oil paint

Linseed paint should be spread with a brush with stiff bristles in thin layers. Preferably with an oval or round applicator made of real hog bristle. To achieve a really smooth surface, you can smooth after painting with a so-called smoothing tool.

Always stir the paint, but if a skin forms - DO NOT STIR without removing the skin first to avoid getting flakes in the paint.

Shellac before painting if you want to avoid getting knot bleed (applies only indoors).

* Don't be alarmed by the almost mirror-like surface when newly painted! After about 2-3 months, the paint has stabilized and has gone down to semi-gloss.

* However, if you want a permanently mirror-like surface, you can add linseed varnish to the paint. Likewise, you can make the paint matte directly by diluting with solvent, paint thinner, or turpentine.

* It is easier to spread the paint if you dilute a little with solvent in the first coat indoors, about 10-20%. If you want to avoid solvents completely, you have to make sure to really work to spread the paint thinly, alternatively dilute with a little linseed oil if the paint is very thick.

* If you apply too thickly, the paint won't dry! Otherwise, it should dry in 1-2 days.
But rather wait too long than too short a time between coats.



* Indoors, you apply 2-3 times on an untreated surface to achieve a beautiful
covering surface. If it becomes streaky, apply one more time.

* Outdoors, you apply 3 times on, for example, untreated paneling.
1st coat - The paint is diluted by about 40% with solvent.
2nd coat - The paint is diluted by about 20% with solvent.
3rd coat - The paint is applied undiluted.

* The brushes are easily and gently cleaned for both you and the environment.
med linseed soap or crystal soap.
