Linseed oil putty

KREIDEZEIT Linseed Oil Putty is a classic window putty to DIN 18545-A and RAL 849 B/2 for glazing timber windows. The ready-to-use compound consists of chalk and linseed oil (beige in colour) and is free from synthetic resins, solvents, preservatives and fungicides.

Outdoors, once its surface has dried, linseed oil putty must be protected from the weather with elastic coatings based on natural oils – e.g. KREIDEZEIT Holzlasur für außen or KREIDEZEIT Standölfarbe.

Suitable substrates

Wooden window rebates for glazing. Rebate clean, dry and pre-treated with boiled linseed oil or primer oil.

Application & Processing

Preparation: Clean the glazing rebate and prime it with KREIDEZEIT linseed oil varnish or primer oil (to prevent the wood from drawing oil out of the putty).

Glazing with putty: Apply the putty, press the glass into place and neatly strike off the putty bevel with the putty knife (45°). Observe the manufacturer's (KAWO) current product information.

Protective coat: Once the surface has dried, paint over on the outside with KREIDEZEIT exterior wood glaze or stand oil paint, drawing it slightly onto the glass.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pre-treat the rebate?
Yes. Pre-coat the glazing rebate with boiled linseed oil or primer oil so that the wood does not draw the oil out of the putty.

Do I need to paint over the putty?
Outdoors, yes – once the surface has dried, with KREIDEZEIT exterior wood glaze or stand oil paint. Indoors, a coat of paint is not essential.

How long does linseed oil putty take to dry?
It becomes surface-dry within a few days and cures through over several weeks. The protective coat is applied once the surface has dried.
