I am seeing an uptick in the use of linseed oil paint, a natural and safe paint choice that was used for hundreds of years, and is having a comeback. I have begun to use it, I recommend it, and I stand by it. This product is natural and thus is safer for us and the environment. There are no harmful chemicals, just oil and pigments. Plus, some brands use flax seed grown right here in the United States! Linseed oil nourishes and protects wood, offers breathability, and old paint is easily rejuvenated with a quick coat of oil or paint, without stripping. Did you know, latex paint is just a chemical plastic coat that sits atop wood and traps moisture underneath, leading to rot? And that modern oil paints are full of harmful solvents that dry wood out and release VOCs? Why would you want to live with it? Let's talk about using linseed oil products.
