About this product
Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil is a traditional, natural treatment trusted by glazing professionals for its exceptional workability and protective qualities. Unlike boiled oil, this raw variant is designed to stay "open" for longer, ensuring the oil can soak deep into the grain of timber components or be blended into traditional putty to restore flexibility.
For the modern installer, Barrettine offers a reliable, consistent formula that is perfect for on-site timber maintenance and heritage glazing projects. Whether you are nourishing interior sills or maintaining your hand tools, this 500ml bottle provides the performance needed for a professional finish every time.

For a window or door installer, Barrettine Raw Linseed Oil is a classic "life-prolonging" treatment for the kit bag. Here is how it specifically benefits your hand tools:
- Rust Prevention: Wiping a thin layer over the steel blades of putty knives, chisels, or glazing hammers creates a protective barrier that prevents moisture from causing oxidation and rust.
- Handle Care: For traditional tools with wooden handles, the oil penetrates the timber to prevent it from drying out, cracking, or splintering under the pressure of daily use.
- Resin & Putty Removal: A light coating on the metal surface of your tools can make it much easier to wipe off sticky putty or resin at the end of a shift, as it prevents the material from bonding directly to the steel.
- Supple Joints: It can be used to keep the pivot points of pliers or snips moving smoothly, ensuring they don't seize up in damp site conditions.
