Why is the Allback Linseed Paint more cost effective?
Using linseed paint really translates into a substantial cost savings over time. When comparing the cost between linseed paint and conventional paint you must first consider that you never have to remove the linseed oil paint and that it never peels. On top of this, the linseed oil will never trap any moisture that can cause the wood to rot. The cost of paint is a small portion of a paint job. The labor cost is the overwhelming part of any restoration job. Eliminating the process of replacing defective wood and repainting is a gigantic cost savings over time. Maintenance of linseed painted surfaces is easy and inexpensive. We recommend a coat of warmed Allback boiled linseed oil or the linseed oil wax after 5-10 years. The next treatment would be after the next 5-8 years: a single coat of the cleaned boiled linseed oil with a few ounces of the paint color you are using mixed in is far less expensive than any other paint systems available today.

Most exterior woodwork painted in modern oil or water-based paints needs to be repainted at intervals of anything between 3 and 6 years. Linseed oil paint never has to be removed and it never peels. On top of this, the linseed oil does not trap any moisture that can cause the wood to rot. Eliminating the need to replace defective wood and to repaint is a significant cost saving over time. Maintenance of linseed painted surfaces is easy and inexpensive. We recommend a coat of warmed Allback raw or boiled linseed oil after 6 – 8 years, and then a single coat of linseed oil paint after 15 years.
