BeautysBeast Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Can this be applied over boiled linseed oil? I would like to bring out the natural wood tones, yet seal it somehow. I will be using in on a Cedar bed frame I am building. Sorry if this is a really newb question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Sikkens recommends against that. But it may work anyways, since both products are oil based. You should run a test on a piece of scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Sikkens is meant to soak in and cover in one coat. It's extremely thin and doesn't build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautysBeast Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Any suggestions for the perfect finish? I want to keep the wood from getting brittle over time, preferably with a semi gloss or gloss shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Cetol is not the "perfect finish" for indoors projects. It's meant for decks, wooden blinds, etc, anything exposed to the elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I an exterior setting, the proper finish will prevent the surface from weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
