Our handmade Purified Linseed Oil starts as food grade flax oil from the US. Our refining method produces a clean, pale drying oil with many uses such as primer coats for thirsty wood and thinning Heron paint. There are no additives in our Purified Linseed Oil.
It can be used as a penetrating base coat on dry wood and a rejuvenating coat on surfaces previously painted with Linseed Oil Paint.
Our oil can be used on clean metal to prevent rust, all wooden projects inside and out and mixed with varying amounts of linseed oil paint to create unique stains and washes. It does not contain any UV inhibitors. This is our slowest drying; yet deepest penetrating oil at Heron.
We love using Heron Paints on our projects. They apply well, are long lasting and have a wonderful finish. Using on restoring old iron radiators at Cornell University Fraternity renovation.
Heron Linseed Paint and their products offered are my go-to for my Historic Preservation Projects. It withstands the elements, doesn't blister or peel, and durable to abrasions. I've tried many brands and this one tops the charts. Happy Shopping.
