FAQ

Why should you avoid linseed and tung oil without pigmentation for outdoor application?

Linseed oil, as well as Tung oil, are not suitable for outdoor use if they have not been pre-tinted. These products do not possess the necessary resistance to withstand outdoor conditions, particularly UV rays.

Therefore, any oil intended for outdoor use must contain a minimum of 15% pigment by volume. It is the pigments that effectively protect against UV rays, which tend to gray the wood over time.

However, the pigment dosage must be sufficient because it is not possible to apply two coats of this colored oil: the two subsequent coats must be clear linseed oil.

For an optimal finish, the first coat should be diluted with Citrus Solvent to promote more effective absorption. It is also important to perform a test beforehand to validate the color obtained during tinting, thus avoiding unpleasant surprises.

Furthermore, periodic maintenance is necessary: applying clear oil every 2 to 3 years will be essential to preserve the durability and appearance of your surface.
