Ottosson
Linseed Oil Paint from Sweden
Exterior / Interior
#LFSV980
Ottosson Linseed Oil Paint can be applied on any surface. It protects the substrate
from weather and wind, the ravages of time and the changing seasons.
In Sweden, as in the rest of Europe, there is a long tradition of
painting buildings and interiors with linseed oil paint. The reason
the paint has survived for 500 years is because it really does provide
protection to the substrate on which you are painting. However,
the fact that it is more environmentally friendly and less expensive
per square meter is also an advantage that should not be ignored.

When to paint: Paint in 60 degree ambient temperature or
warmer. Cold temperatures will slow the drying time. Indoors, make
sure you ventilate well. Linseed Oil Paint will cure faster with
ample air circulation.
How to paint outdoors: Apply primer coat of purified organic
raw linseed oil with 30% paint. Allow 4-5 days to dry. Apply 1 coat
undiluted paint allowing at least 2-3 days to dry. Follow with 1
final coat of undiluted paint. Maintain the linseed oil painted
surface with purified organic boiled linseed oil when the surface
looks dry. Paint can be applied directly on to raw wood, metal or
plastic that is clean and dry. Always do a test on a small area
before starting a project to ensure the result you desire. Use a
short stiff natural bristle brush. Our hand-made Swedish natural
paint brushes work very well with Linseed oil paint.
