I have been using linseed oil for 40 years, its my favourite.

Mix with 1/4 white spirit and apply with rag or brush.


Apply a coat every week for 3 weeks, and hey presto.


Dump the cloth in case of spontaneous combustion..(self ignition)
rub it on with a piece of cotton rag
A paintbrush works
I just use an old rag, like from a T-shirt or something, it works fine
I think just with a rag
dilute the first two coats by 3o% with white spirit to enable penetration-then two good coats - then one a month for a year - then one every year therein - reapply as you see fit -all timbers either in species or type of cut/grain orientation are different
i use a brush
Don't know, sorry.
spray can manual pump type
You have to use a special cloth you can buy from any hardware store it's just normal material but it is lint free.


Never keep the cloths together after you have used them as this may cause spontaneous combustion.
