Craft Colors Linseed Oil Wood Varnish is ideal for environmentally friendly and toxin-free wood care, both indoors and outdoors under mild weather conditions. It penetrates deep into the wood structure, thereby increasing its resilience sustainably. Particularly recommended as a care oil for teak wood. Application is done without the addition of additional drying agents. It forms a waterrepellent and moistureregulating layer on the wood surface, remaining breathable. This approach preserves the natural character and properties of the wood. The product effectively protects against dirt and water while imparting a warm tone to light woods. It is also suitable for the production of oil paints.

• As surface protection for all woods and natural stones
• For the production of oil paints
• For rust protection paints and primer oils

Binder base: Linseed
Linseed Oil Varnish is a pure and resin-free, double-boiled linseed oil according to DIN 55932 and RAL 848B for safe wood coatings. Linseed oil is obtained from flaxseed and is a pure natural product. It has proven itself for centuries as a natural wood protection. Linseed oil is processed into linseed oil varnish by adding drying agents (siccatives).

It is important that the substrate is dry, clean, and free from grease. Depending on the type of substrate, proper pretreatment according to VOB, Part C, DIN 18363, Section 3 is required. Before the actual coating process, the suitability of material and substrate should be checked by a test coating. This ensures that the desired requirements can be met.

The temperatures of material, circulating air, and substrateshould be at least +5°C. Processing should not be done underextremely high humidity (mist, wetness), rain, or direct sunlight.Special care is required in the risk of overnight frost. When primingraw wood and applying to highly absorbent wood and masonry, itis recommended to dilute this product at a ratio of 1:1 with paintthinner. Application is done by applying with a brush, cloth, orrag in a thin and even layer. Excess material should be removedwith a lint-free cloth after drying. Fine sanding is required aftercomplete drying.

Store tools in the material or under water during breaks. Clean tools immediately after use with paint thinner.

For the production of oil paints, it is recommended to mix CraftColors color pigments into linseed oil varnish to obtain a paste.This paste should then be brought to a spreadable consistencywith linseed oil varnish or paint thinner. Before use, the mixtureshould be shaken well, and after use, it should be carefully sealed. All inorganic and organic pigments can be used for the productionof opaque linseed oil paints and primers.

To optimise the drying properties of the coatings produced withthis product, small amounts of drying agent (siccatives) are usuallyadded. The exact amount depends on the type and composition ofthe drying agents. Drying is significantly influenced by the ambienttemperature and the humidity of the air. Low temperatures andhigh humidity can delay drying.

Cool, but frost-free, storable in unopened original containers. Close well after use.

Spontaneous combustion, for example, with wetted cloths/sheetsor similar, is possible, therefore, burn directly under supervisionor let dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow contact withporous or absorbent insulating materials, as there is a risk ofspontaneous combustion.
