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