Description

LTP Boiled Linseed Oil is a traditional impregnating sealer for interior use on terracotta floor and wall tiles.

LTP Boiled Linseed Oil is for protecting and enhancing machine and hand made terracotta. LTP Boiled Linseed Oil fills and hardens within the open pores of the terracotta inhibiting the absorption of grime and fluids. Offers good mechanical strength to low fired handmade terracotta.

Directions for use:

Apply LTP Boiled Linseed Oil by brush, a coat at a time until the tiles are saturated. Allow at least 12 hours between each coat to ensure that the oil thoroughly oxidises. Most Terracotta will take one or two coats to reach saturation, while others, particularly some of hand made terracotta, may take as many as four or five coats. Leave the final coat to dry for at least 24 hours before polishing with LTP Clear or Antique Wax or finishing with LTP Ironwax Gloss or Satin.

IMPORTANT: Do not let LTP Boiled Linseed Oil oxidise on the surface of the tile. Remove any unabsorbed surplus within one hour of the application using a clean cloth and, if necessary, a little Genuine Turpentine. Experiment on spare tiles to establish the number of coats required to achieve full saturation.
