DIGGERS™ Anti-Mould Linseed Oil is a READY-TO-USE low cost alternative to conventional decking oils – a unique product.

Internal and external trials have shown this product to provide mould and mildew resistance.

Typical Uses:

• Natural oil for decking
• Outdoor timber sealer and protector
• Decks, fences and retaining walls

Features:

• Mould, mildew and water resistant
• Ready to use – no mixing required
• Reduces the greying effect of timber
• Coverage: Softwoods/ Hardwoods: 6-8/8-10m2 per litre (dependent on porosity and application technique)
• Will produce a warm, golden tone to pine and maple. Porous woods like walnut will darken considerably. Dense cabinet hardwoods will not absorb readily.

Application:

New Timber

1. Clean surface with DIGGERS™ Timber Cleaner. Remove heavy deposits of wax and grease with DIGGERS™ Wax & Grease Remover or DIGGERS™ Mineral Turpentine.
2. Once dry coat with DIGGERS™ Ready To Use Linseed Oil. Drying time is dependent on weather conditions but as a guideline allow approximately 24 hours between coats. Clean excess oil with a clean lint free cloth to avoid heavy build up and the surface drying sticky.

Previously Coated/Weathered Timber

1. Clean and remove previous coating by sanding the surface. Wash and coat as indicated above.

How does Linseed Oil work?
When linseed oil is applied to a porous surface it fills the pores and as it is exposed to the air it gels to form a protective film. The film is generally impervious to water, heat, scratches and most stains.

NOTE: Timber exposed to the elements will have higher absorption rate. Soak rags in water as spontaneous ignition may occur on drying. Dispose of rags by controlled incineration or at an approved landfill.

Safety:
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection when using this product.
