Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hello: I asked a question about products to finish hardwood floors about a month ago and someone has recommended a company called Bioshield. Has anybody had experience with their linseed oil (3=#5) and wax (#30) that you apply on unfinished wood? Thank you. Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hello, i used linseed oil on oak flooring 12 years ago, it still looks awwwsome and the nice part i never have to polish it. It took me a long time to apply it though, i did applocations in 20 % increments mixed with laquerthinner, so the first applocation was 20% linseed oil and 80% laquerthinner, than 60-40/40-60/20-80/100 . --- Konstantin Freger <kfreger wrote: > Hello: > > I asked a question about products to finish hardwood > floors about a month ago and someone has recommended > a > company called Bioshield.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Dear Konstantin, I have been a painter, faux painter for over 30 years now & have used linseed oil before in a damp & high humidity climate. To my dismay, it mildewed & molded up causing more of a problem than a solution. If you are in a dry climate or controlled environment on the inside you may be OK. I have found the water base finishes to be good. I, however, am not an expert on the toxicity factor of the various finishes available today.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Thanks. Have you used wax to put on top of the oil? I wonder how long it took for your floors to dry completely and how long it took for smell to go away.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I never waxed it, just dusted and damp mopped it thats all, it took a while for the smell to go away, and to harden, depends on the weather, i think i let mine dry 4 to 5 days, no mold, no mildew or anything, and the colour is very nice too. --- Konstantin Freger <kfreger wrote: > Thanks.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 If you think one's health consists ONLY of herbal remedies, you have a very limited view of life and health. Natural healing concerns ALL of our living choices. Naturopathy is holistic in scope. Natural healing would include any life style changes which enhance/heal the health of the people concerned. Decorating one's house with natural products would enhance the health of the persons living in that house, and so is definitely an on topic discussion on this list. Why are you so concerned with this anyhow?
