The Putty Restoration Professionals Trust

Traditional linseed oil putty is designed for historic and modern timber windows and filling small holes in timber.

Traditional linseed oil putty is a versatile material used for both glazing timber windows and carrying out small timber repairs. Made from simple, natural ingredients, it provides a durable seal between glass and wood while also being ideal for filling minor holes, surface defects, and small imperfections in timber. Easy to shape, sand, and paint, it remains compatible with traditional building materials and forms an essential part of a long-lasting repair system.

How to Use Linseed Oil Putty

Linseed oil putty has been the traditional choice for glazing timber windows for generations. It creates a durable, weather-resistant seal between the glass and timber while remaining compatible with the wood’s natural movement. Unlike many modern synthetic alternatives, it functions as part of a traditional window system designed for maintenance and repair over time. It’s also a practical solution for filling small holes, surface defects, and minor imperfections in timber before painting. Easy to shape and tool, linseed oil putty provides a smooth finish that can be painted over with linseed oil paint, helping create repairs that blend seamlessly into the surrounding woodwork.
