Boiled Linseed Oil is a clear or pale yellow liquid commonly used for treating and preserving wood surfaces. It enhances the natural beauty of wood while offering protection against water damage, wear, and decay. When applied, it penetrates deeply into the wood, sealing it from moisture and leaving a smooth, polished finish. Unlike Raw Linseed Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil contains additives that help it dry much faster, making it ideal for indoor use. However, it is important to note that due to these additives, it should not be used for any food-related purposes, such as feeding animals like horses.

Boiled Linseed Oil should be handled with care. Always use it in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes can be harmful. Keep it away from open flames, as it is flammable. Avoid skin contact, and always wear gloves when handling the oil. After using rags or cloths to apply Boiled Linseed Oil, make sure they are properly disposed of or soaked in water, as they can spontaneously combust if left in a pile.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight.
First Aid: In case of skin contact, wash the affected area with soap and water. If ingested or fumes are inhaled in large amounts, seek medical attention immediately.
