Test Run

New to linseed oil paint but liked the many upsides to the product. Started with a test run on a mill shed before tackling the larger barn this was mainly intended for. Travis was of great help answering questions. Started with raw wood, applied a coat of purified linseed oil first, then couple days later applied a 50/50 mix of purified linseed oil and linseed oil paint (fiddlehead). Despite challenges with central VA humidity (applied when had a few lower humidity days) working with the paint was easier than expected. A little bit goes a long way as we used thin coats taking time to spread and work the paint/oil into the wood. We did this smaller building all by brush but will try a roller on the next project, taking time to back brush to spread the paint out that will likely go on thicker. The 50/50 mix has a nice look with what appears to be adequate coverage and that at this point don't see a need to go back over with straight paint.

I like it...

Been looking for someone in the United States who made a pure raw linseed oil that was petrol and chemical free and that I could afford. I have been applying this oil on wooden spoons, cutting boards, walking sticks etc... and "so far, so good". As time and finances allow I look forward to trying some of their other products . I would definitely recommend Heron.

great for chairs

switched the paint for my chairmaking business from milk paint to linseed oil paint from Heron. the results are great and with less work.

Great paint. Better service.

As a sign painter reverting to LSO paint, Travis has been incredibly helpful figuring out technical issues of an old form of the trade. And of all of the LSO paints I use. Heron’s are my favorite.

where has this paint been all my life?!

The coverage of this paint is incredible! Applying linseed oil paint is a pleasure - only good smells (nothing toxic), cleanup is a breeze, and it's an absolute pleasure to brush on this paint. I could not be any happier. The owner knows his products and helped me (I was applying it initially like it was latex paint - that doesn't work with linseed paint, it turns out). I will definitely be purchasing more paint from Heron. But first I have to run out of what I purchased! This paint covers A LOT of surface area!
