Description
This primer oil with wood tar is suitable for exterior wood, for heavily weathered wood surfaces before applying linseed oil paint, for wooden structures, or for particularly exposed wood. It can also be used before a coat of wood tar.
The primer oil is used on timber framing, wooden cladding, wooden gables, wooden structures, fences or shingle roofs.
Risk of spontaneous combustion! Rags/paper soaked in linseed oil can easily catch fire. Store rags and papers soaked in linseed oil in an airtight metal container or immerse them in water.
Linseed oil primer with wood tar is suitable for both new and old, planed and rough wood. The primer ensures good saturation of the wood in outdoor applications. The oil should be applied before painting with linseed oil paint, as it allows the wood to breathe. It is suitable for all types of wood. Both new and old, planed and rough wood benefit from the primer. It is transparent and breathable.
If a tarred surface looks good but feels dry and worn, a coat of linseed oil primer with wood tar can often revitalize both the tar and the underlying wood.
The primer consists of linseed oil and wood tar, which is excellent for strengthening wood because the linseed oil molecules are much smaller than the wood pores and can therefore penetrate the wood particularly well. During the curing process, the linseed oil expands by up to 20%. It seals the pores, preventing the wood from absorbing water and thus increasing its strength. The wood tar is added so that the oil can transport the wood preservatives it contains into the wood. This is particularly beneficial for heavily stressed wood (wood in contact with soil and water).
Tree tar is obtained by heating pine wood (in principle, any wood species with oily sap) to a temperature where it releases the sap. Wood tar made from coniferous trees is a product known for centuries and was traditionally produced in wood-burning kilns.
Risk of spontaneous combustion! Rags/papers soaked in linseed oil can easily ignite. Store rags and papers soaked in linseed oil in an airtight metal container or immerse them in water.
