Flax flower in Sweden
Linolja
Once the Linolja has been cold-pressed it is exposed to the
sun and thus bleached and preoxidized. Therefore it is very
transparent and dries much quicker than raw Linseed oil.
(Drying time according to environmental conditions and
surface one to several days).
Use
We recommend the Linseed oil surface especially for
interiors: furniture with slight and medium exposure,
wooden parts with body contact (kitchen, cutting board,
handles, toys, musical instruments) and in sensitive areas
(children´s room, bedroom, sauna etc.).
Any mixtures with other vegetable oils (with wax or rosin)
is possible. But usually the Linseed oil is heated in order to
improve the solubility.

Application
The application of the Linseed Oil should be done across the
grain using brushes or cloths, it should be polished along
the grain.
Add-on of scented oils
To create a pleasant smell 5-10% of Orange oil can be added.
Deep impregnation
Small objects with high exposure (e.g. handles or wooden
spoons) can be deeply impregnated by completely soaking
the object for several days into Linseed Oil.
