How to Apply Linseed Oil to Outdoor Furniture

Linseed oil is a natural, durable finish that can protect and beautify your outdoor furniture. It's easy to apply and can be used on a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, and wicker.

To apply linseed oil to your outdoor furniture, you will need the following materials:

Linseed oil
Clean rags
Soft cloths
Sandpaper (optional)

Before applying linseed oil, it's important to make sure that your furniture is clean and dry. If your furniture is dirty, wash it with a mild soap and water solution and allow it to dry completely. If your furniture is new or has been previously finished with a different product, you may want to sand it lightly to create a smooth surface for the linseed oil to adhere to.

To apply linseed oil, simply dip a clean rag into the oil and wipe it onto the surface of your furniture. Be sure to apply the oil in a thin, even coat. Allow the oil to penetrate the surface for about 15 minutes, then wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth. You can repeat this process until you achieve the desired finish.

Once you have applied linseed oil to your furniture, allow it to dry for at least 24 hours before using it. During this time, the oil will continue to penetrate the surface and cure. Once the oil is dry, your furniture will be protected and ready to enjoy for years to come.
