Car Siding And Linseed Oil

Anyway i ve thought about ripping it all off and just slamming vinyl up.

Car siding and linseed oil.

I ll confess that i ve tried a number of solutions mea culpa. I would appreciate any suggestions on cleaning stripping and refinishing my siding. Spot prime any big knots with an oil based stain killer and then prime the entire surface including the tongue with a paintbrush and roller. Once you have boiled the mixture for a few minutes take the pan to where you will be adding the linseed oil.

Basically i think there is a heavy coat of linseed oil on the siding. Keep in mind applying boiled linseed oil straight out of the can to your cedar siding can and will darken over time. For exterior use be sure to prime the backside as well. If you re painting the pine paneling the first step is to prime it thoroughly.

Use one thin layer at first and then allow it to soak into the wood. The difference is that the boiled linseed oil is the only one that dries. Caution using linseed oil. Both provide a rich unmatched oil finish that adds character depth and beauty to virtually any wood surface.

This was much lighter toned when newer but over time has gotten darker with multiple coats of linseed oil over the years. 3 times to clean it up. And so for a siding sealing material for an exterior finish you use boiled linseed oil. The raw one does not dry.

A good friend of mine showed me this dandy method to rejuvenating old faded plastics. Create a 50 50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and paint thinner. The applications were inconsistent as there are areas that have a heavy dried on film others that are dried wood. It uses boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits mixed at a 50 50 ratio.

Sand the siding with 100 grit sandpaper and wipe clean. Apply the solution using a spray bottle foam brush or rag. Using your brush apply the linseed oil and turps to the wood. Finally allow the solution to absorb on the surface for a few seconds and then wipe away the excess.

Overall the siding is in remarkably good shape for being 18 years old. Leave for about 30 minutes and then wipe down any excess liquid using the sponge. We purchased a cedar sided home last oct found out the previous owner used a 50 50 mix of linseed oil turpentine on the siding. Boiled linseed oil blo is my favorite polymerized oil finish.

When would you ever want it to not dry. Both a classified as drying oils which means they harden over time.
