Description

Linseed paint helped protect wood and iron for many hundreds of years.

Since the advent of petrochemical paints, however, the industry has largely forgotten the value of traditional alternatives.

It describes in detail the unique role linseed paint plays in the preservation of historic buildings, including: What linseed paint is, what the ingredients are and how it is made, the benefits of linseed paint and how it functions on a molecular level, how linseed paint can play a pivotal role in reducing microplastics and making the building and restoration industries more sustainable and detailed step-by-step instructions for applying linseed paint to a variety of surfaces
