Hi! New to Linseed oil products, but loving what I am seeing. Planning to refurbish my entire 1930 house in linseed oil products both because they seem so much better, but also because they would have been correct for the time period of the house anyway. What is the difference between linseed oil paint, stain, and varnish? Also, chemical stains have lots of variance in color between woods, even similar light woods. Does Linseed oil paint/stain/varnish have this same issue or is it more forgiving if say I used it for an oak counter and pine trim? Love your videos, thank you for introducing me to non-chemical alternatives!
Good!!
Coming from you, that is exciting! You work with Le Tonk LO Varnish quite a bit I think - any additional suggestions or preferred application method? Thanks!
I never heard of bio impression primer and what difference does that make instead of using linseed oil from the beginning? I’m looking to do my Moms home and it has mostly oak flooring throughout. Unsure yet as to whether it’s white or red oak because the bathroom had tiles and mastic paste beneath it. The bathroom is puny in dimensions being just over 4 ft 6” x 4 ft 3” so it’s confined. Lol. So after removing that stuff and I’m striving for a gloss finish. Will linseed oil help with being a water repellent? Thanks for sharing the great information!!
You can certainly use the Viking Purified Linseed Oil as your "primer" but we do recommend the Bio Impression Primer since it was formulated for the Le Tonk Linseed Oil Varnish options. It is just a combination of resinous oils. Either option helps nourish the dry wood before buildings-up the surface protection with multiple coats of varnish.
I would recommend either option as a first step for a bathroom, then maybe 3 coats of varnish to ensure ideal water repellency and protection since water/moisture will be commonplace in such a space. Hope this is helpful. Feel free to reach out via info@earthandflax.com with additional questions.
Nice work👌 question can it be done with a roller or a wool pad?
I think you might get some texture with a roller and it may be tricky to get it applied evenly so I may discourage a roller. A wool pad we haven't tried so I would do a test on a scrape piece of wood to ensure it doesn't leave lint, etc. but I would think iot would work. Hope this is helpful!
what grit sand paper did you prep with?
Best is to use a natural brush. If you want to use a different applicator make sure you test first.
Le Tonkinois linseed oil varnish breaks down pretty quickly when exposed to sun. Takes about a year. I've used it on window interiors and would not recommend it. I'd never use it on floors as it's really not breathable like other linseed oil products and it's not made to be walked on. This video is a bad recommendation.
Hmm that has not been our experience. Did you prime with their Le Tonk Bio Impression Primer or the Viking Purified Linseed Oil as a first coat as that will greatly increase longevity. If you apply the varnish to a dry wood substrate, it can cause the varnish to become brittle relatively quickly. It is a very popular product for marine applications so has to preform in extreme conditions or boat builders/sailers would not be interested. Best natural, oil-based traditional varnish product that we have found so far. Have a porch floor that is going on 10 years and it gets real beat up. I recommend you try experimenting with processes as I think you can improve your experience with the product for sure. Let us know what additional questions come up.
@@Earthandflaxstudio FYI you said you used #1, you used Parquet. I still wouldn't recommend Le Tonkinois in general, especially not on an interior floor. Always glad to help.
@@richardmckrell4899 I am not sure where the confusion is but this video shows the use of the Le Tonk Bio Impression Primer and the Le Tonk No 1. Linseed Oil Varnish. We do not have a video at this time with the Parquet. Maybe we will add sometime in the future for that option. Let me know if any additional questions come up.
