Treating Wood with Linseed Oil & Pine Tar (Talks w/ an expert)

[@DrPavagadaPrakashRao]

Can it be used for pinewood dining table top? Will hot food in a metalic plate/vessel get stuck?

so we use a different blend from the same company. it's a mix of beeswax and linseed oil. we've had better success with the clear stuff. We install it in shelves in kitchens and restaurants all the time with success. it wipes on with a clean rag which is kind of cool. IDK how it would do with a pan right off the stove, but it's pretty durable. Here's the stuff: www.earthandflax.com/product-page/viking-purified-linseed-oil-wax

Great video! Can i paint over this? And when i do it again after a few years do i need to sand the surface?

Great content! I’d like to give this combination a try. Thanks for sharing. Just an fyi: Natalie’s company site is impossible to browse on mobile devices

[@GreenBuildingNetwork]

Appreciate the kind words. We’ll let her know next time we see her!

Man I really wanted to support Earth & Flax. But $400 shipping to Montana for a few gallons is INSANE.

[@GreenBuildingNetwork]

Yea, that is a bummer. We’re spoiled by having them so close. I’d imagine there’s other vendors closer to you!

Buy any natural pine tar, linseed oil and turpentine. Mix 1/3 ratio. Paint on any wood on sunny and warm days. Easy peasy.

[@susanzientek9654]

is the heating of the pine tar/oil mix necessary? I see it in the application instructions but you didn't do that.. I'm planning to pine tar/oil our cedar siding for a new build but it I don't need to heat it up, that will make less prepping.. thanks for any info you can provide.

[@GreenBuildingNetwork]

Not actually sure. The Earth + Flax website has a ton of tutorials! Let us know what you find?

[@RyanJenningsHenderson]

How many coats of of this combination product should you use? just 1? should you let the first dry and then go over again?

[@GreenBuildingNetwork]

sorry for the delay. we did two initially, I think we probably should have done 4. the wood was thirsty and we're going to have to reapply more coats this season

[@JAYHARRIS85]

I really really enjoy them good folks who talk and talk and talk,,, lol... I think about an old school carpenter and how long it would have taken to talk about protecting wood, lol... OMG. It's,,, revenge of the nerds

[@GreenBuildingNetwork]

Lol we appreciate you watching!

Does it have to be Raw Linseed Oil or can I use Boiled Linseed oil?

[@GreenBuildingNetwork]

Check out this link. Quick summary, raw is the most natural. Boiled has a bunch of additives! vermontwoodsstudios.com/blogs/recent-articles/raw-vs-boiled-vs-polymerized-linseed-oil#:~:text=The%20difference%20between%20raw%20linseed,option%20for%20finishing%20wood%20furniture.
