Linseed oil varnish provides primary surface protection for all woods in indoor conditions. To achieve wear resistance, waxing over the linseed oil varnish is necessary. By diluting 1:1 with balsamic turpentine, you get a suitable mixture for priming. Also, linseed oil varnish can be used to make oil paints mixed with chalk, and linseed oil putty can be used to putty windows. The linseed oil varnish has a good absorption capacity, the surface remains diffuse, dirt and water repellent, gives light wood a honey color tone. The linseed oil varnish is not intended as a surface protective layer for the wood but must penetrate the wood and fill the pores.
