How to Use Boiled Linseed Oil

Allow up to eight hours for the oil to penetrate and dry, leaving overnight for the best results. Then buff with a clean paper kitchen towel or a clean soft cloth for a silky sheen finish.
Maintaining wood with Boiled Linseed Oil
For upkeep of new or used items, simple re-oiling once a year is sufficient for all year-round protection. Further coats can be applied to high use areas more frequently, if required.
