Does the type of wood affect the effectiveness of Allback Linseed Paints?
Good quality pine, preferably air dried and not kiln dried (which unfortunately most wood is these days) is the best wood to paint on. You can also paint on hardwoods such as oak and some of the tropical hardwoods. Even though there is not a specific linseed oil primer for the Allback linseed oil paint, old, dried out wood requires a first coat of the Purified Organic Boiled Linseed Oil. This will make the paint soak in and dry more evenly. Return to FAQ.
