LTP Boiled Linseed Oil for Terracotta and Decking

LTP Boiled Linseed Oil is a a rich golden coloured oil ideal for protecting and enhancing machine and hand made terracotta. Once applied, LTP Linseed Oil fills and hardens within the open pores of the terracotta inhibiting the absorption of grime and fluids and keeping your tiles looking great!

Available from Tile Fix Direct in both 2 and 5 litre bottle sizes.

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.
