Clotted Cream

Description

Material & Composition: Made from our local farm-grown flax-derived boiled linseed oil and mineral pigments. No plastics, acrylics, or synthetic binders. The paint penetrates the substrate, helping protect wood from moisture and metal from corrosion while allowing moisture to wick outward. Linseed oil paint will not chip or peel.

Application: Apply in thin coats using a natural-bristle brush, such as our oval hog’s hair paintbrush. The color may appear different in the can—once applied, the tone settles and comes into balance with the primer and surface.

Coverage: Approx. 612–815 sq ft per gallon, per coat—2x greater coverage than conventional paint systems.

System Performance: Linseed oil paint integrates into the surface rather than forming a film, allowing it to age gradually without cracking or peeling while continuing to protect over time.

Maintenance: Maintenance is simple—apply a light coat of boiled linseed oil every 3–5 years on south-facing surfaces, where sunlight is strongest, and approximately every 10–15 years on north-facing surfaces, where UV exposure is much lower. No need to repaint.

Shipping: Ships from our warehouse in New Hampshire.

Warranty: When applied in accordance with the application guidelines to properly prepared and primed surfaces, our linseed oil paint will not blister, peel, or trap moisture. It is backed by a lifetime residential warranty and a 10-year commercial warranty, both valid from the date of application.
