Pébéo refined linseed oil for oil paint 75 ml

Pébéo refined linseed oil is a pale, low-acid oil binder extracted from flaxseed. It makes oil paint more fluid and increases gloss and colour depth. You receive one 75 ml glass bottle. Use the oil to adjust the handling of your paint mixture; paint, brushes and thinner are not included.

Mix into your paint gradually

Add a small amount to a separate portion of oil paint and mix thoroughly. Make a trial on the same painting ground and assess both handling and the dry layer before adjusting a larger mixture. Do not use a fixed ratio for every colour. Too much oil can slow drying and make paint sticky. The oil can yellow in darkness; consider this when working with light colours.

Make a painting medium

You can thin this linseed oil with a suitable mineral oil-paint thinner or turpentine to make a painting medium. Adjust the amount to your paint and technique and test a small mixture; do not add water. Mineral spirits or turpentine can also be used to clean tools. Follow the added thinner’s own instructions and safety precautions.

Safe use

Work with adequate ventilation, protect eyes from splashes and wear suitable gloves for prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wash hands after use and keep the bottle tightly closed out of children’s reach. Do not pour residues down drains; follow local waste collection guidance. Linseed-oil-soaked cloths can heat up by themselves and ignite. Spread them out separately to dry in a well-ventilated place away from combustible materials; do not leave them in a pile or put them straight in the bin.
