SupaDec Boiled Linseed Oil 500ml
SupaDec Boiled Linseed Oil – 500ml
Classic Wood Treatment for Natural Protection and Lasting Shine
SupaDec Boiled Linseed Oil 500ml is a traditional, time-tested solution for preserving and enhancing the appearance of wood. Specially formulated to nourish, protect, and revive wooden surfaces, this boiled linseed oil is ideal for use on a wide range of wooden items, particularly garden furniture that faces daily exposure to the elements.
Unlike raw linseed oil, the “boiled” version has been treated with drying agents, enabling it to cure more quickly while still offering the same deep-penetrating benefits. It works by seeping into the wood grain, replenishing natural oils, and helping to prevent cracking, splitting, and drying out.
The oil imparts a warm, natural sheen that enhances the grain and beauty of the wood without creating a thick or artificial finish. This makes it a popular choice for restoring tired, weathered outdoor furniture, wooden tools, fencing, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between boiled and raw linseed oil?
A: Boiled linseed oil has been treated with drying agents that allow it to cure faster than raw linseed oil. This makes it more suitable for furniture and surfaces that need a quicker turnaround time between coats.
Q: Can I use it on painted or varnished wood?
A: No, this oil is designed for use on bare or previously oiled wood. Painted or varnished surfaces will prevent the oil from penetrating properly and should be stripped or sanded beforehand.
Q: How often should I apply it?
A: Reapply when the wood starts to look dry or faded—typically once or twice a year for outdoor furniture, depending on exposure to sun and rain.
Q: Is this oil food-safe for wooden surfaces like dining tables?
A: No, SupaDec Boiled Linseed Oil is not certified food-safe. It is best suited for decorative and structural wooden items, not surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
Q: Can it be used on interior woodwork?
A: Yes, this product is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Just be sure to allow for adequate drying and ventilation if used inside.
Q: Does the oil darken the wood?
A: Yes, boiled linseed oil naturally enriches the wood grain and typically darkens the appearance slightly, giving it a warmer tone. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if colour change is a concern.
Q: Is it waterproof?
A: While it enhances water resistance by repelling moisture, boiled linseed oil is not fully waterproof. For full waterproofing, a sealant or topcoat may be required.
