Can this product be used on redwood planters? Will this keep the redwood from graying? How does it compare to raw linseed oil?

Thank you for your interest in our Cedar Garden Bed Oil. It is made from a blend of natural vegetable and citrus oils, and it is specially formulated for cedar and other redwood planters. It gives the wood a rich, deep color and it will prevent the wood from turning silver or gray. It is also safe for surfaces that will come into contact with food. For optimal protection, reapply every 6 to 12 months.

I've used it on other redwood items and the color is beautiful, but it has only been one season and one application. I don't know how it compares to linseed,

I used it on cedar to keep it from graying. It turned out nicely with no overly obnoxious odor. Went on easy, dried quickly, and easy clean-up.

You should be able to mix it and use it on houseplants. Again, this stuff does NOT smell good at all so if you are using this indoots be warned.

"Clarified Hydrophobic Extract of Neem Oil" This product worked well for me against fungus and aphids, but I heard that if you need something stronger, try "cold pressed Neem Oil"

Does linseed oil have any sort of odor/smell while wet or after drying? Also, I have heard that the flaxseed oil you can find in stores will not fully polymerize but turn rancid overtime. How is this different? Thank you!

Sorry I do not have the answer to this question... all I know about this oil is that it is very harsh in nature... OK for cooking, absolutely not OK for salads or any other uncooked edible use. Used raw, this oil burns my throat.

I was asked to respond to this question by Amazon, but I don't think my application will help. I used this product to "seal" bark on the side of a slab of Deodar Cedar that I turned into a table. There was no linseed oil used before or after.

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there. This tung oil is used as a furniture treatment and a first time or after years of neglect or after sanding treatment. Not for a monthly or weekly treatment. Tung oil takes a long time to dry, and thats why it's so good for the wood. It needs to be used properly though. wipe it on, wipe it in, wipe it off, and let it dry! maybe 24 hrs or more, and wax afterward. It would be good for first time treatement. If you need a luster re-freash then I would use a lemon oil for furniture or something instead.Or just a wax product. all treatments will darken the wood. Teak doesn't need this type of treatment as it has it's own oil.

I can't answer this question, because flax seed oil is the only one I've used. Sorry.

It says to use linseed oil, but I have used liquid gold and that seems to work just fine. By the way... I LOVE this table. It is so beautiful. Just saying. :-)

I used the ting oil on an old totem pole in a front yard. It seemed to work well to seal the wood. You could thin it to extend the oil, but I would not thin it too much or you might loose some of the protection benefits. If it was my house with natural wood outside I would opt for using it in its thick concentrated form for maximum protection. This will be more expensive but protecting a house is the primary goal. Then when you redcoats in a year or two, you can start using a thined layers as a routine touch up. I only have limited experience with this product but it worked well for me with no toxic rags, mess etc. I used the ting oil on an old totem pole in a front yard.

I use it to cure hiking fungus. It never gets on my hands. If you spill it, it can leave a yellow stain that is difficult to remove.

For any concern regarding these kinds of products consult the Safety Data Sheet (used to be called MSDS). Google "linseed oil MSDS". I see this product is listed as "Not classified as hazardous for health or environment". I've used this as a wood finishing product for years, often with bare hands. It is recommended that you have good ventilation. I do not have the label in front of me but my guess is that it says something like "known to cause cancer in the State of California"... and every product known to man probably fits in this category.

We had a house with a butcher block countertop and the guy who installed it recommended this oil as being the best. I was told it is maple oil. The product is great, looks and feels like oil but it needs to be applied every other month to keep the wood looking beautiful. I used up all the bottles. In the meanwhile, we moved to another house, so I never needed to order the product again. But I was very pleased with it.

You can use a mixture of turpentine and linseed oil, about 50/50. I use it on my outdoor furniture. It is ready to use in a day or two. But you have to repeat every year or every other year. That is the way with anything left outside year round.

I like the eucalyptus better. I never had to use on oil stain so don't know how it would do for that. But i do love this product for what i use for so far.

We did not use a protectant at first but then thought it would be a good idea. We used a Teak Oil which can be used on the eucalyptus wood.
