Treated with drying oil inner part garage doors. Reiki coniferous tree, probably pine.

What is drying oil needed for: what does it do and how to use it correctly

Why does it take so long to dry? Maybe there are some conditions temperature regime, at which drying will proceed faster?
Drying oil was produced in Voronezh.

Is it just me, or does the second layer of drying oil always behave this way?

The first layer dried very quickly, in about a day. The second layer has been drying for a couple of months) and feels a little sticky to the touch.

well, this is normal for the second layer of drying oil (((especially since the room is rather damp. If the drying oil is based on fuz (a sediment of natural vegetable oils), then such drying oil will never dry out, and neither varnish nor paint will be able to paint over this disgrace. Drying oil on The base of the fuse has a red color and a dark sediment. If there was a natural drying oil, it would dry faster!!!

The room is not humid, moreover, it is heated.
Drying oil has a brownish color, the sediment is not visually determined.

All types of drying oils are used for impregnation and coating of wooden surfaces and various wood products.
The weather resistance of most drying oils is inferior to others available means protection of surfaces, therefore the use of drying oils in pure form(not included in paints) for outdoor use is limited. There is currently no point at all in using natural drying oil, the most expensive of all drying oils, for exterior work - the coating will have to be constantly updated, which is very expensive and impractical. Using natural drying oil to pre-coat surfaces for painting is also pointless, since cheaper drying oils - oxol and alkyd - are better suited for this. Weather resistance is maximum with alkyd drying oils - an alkyd drying oil coating is approximately twice as durable as any oil drying oil. In any case, it is better to use drying oil in exterior work only as a preliminary coating for subsequent painting.
For interior works, from the point of view of ease of use and environmental friendliness, natural drying oil has an advantage - it has virtually no odor, the coating does not emit substances harmful to health, and the work on the coating is also not associated with harm to health. But due to the high cost of this drying oil, oxol (or alkyd drying oils) are more often used for interior work. Due to the odor of oxol, work with it must be done in a well-ventilated area. Until complete drying, the applied coating continues to emit white spirit vapors, which is why a characteristic odor remains in the room for up to several days.
Composite drying oils are generally toxic, and not only during the drying period - a surface coated with a composite drying oil may continue to smell and emit harmful substances for several years after application of the coating. Therefore, composite drying oils can only be used for treating wooden and other porous surfaces for outdoor work, as well as in non-residential premises with good ventilation. They are not recommended for use in interior work in apartments and other residential premises. Surface treatment (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%84%D0%B0)

What do you think, what if you try to dry it with a hairdryer?
Will it dry out or, conversely, leak?

It will leak and it will get worse.

IMHO drying oil is hopelessly outdated... +100. Yes, and from that same drying oil there is only one name left, the one they sell now is just to dilute the red lead)))

It will leak and it will get worse.

It was necessary to cover the thread with something containing wax. IMHO drying oil is hopelessly outdated...

I recently turned on the heating and it dried noticeably faster. It sticks only where the layer was thicker)

Moreover, it is heated.

so you said that the room was warm?)))

They would have turned it on right away))) the losses will be great))

The room is initially dry and moderately warm) but with heating it is warmer))

Something olifil about 15 years ago - sticks)))

I impregnated the chipboard on the floors with drying oil, axol in my opinion, it dries quickly, in two layers, both dried instantly)

Well, who's lucky)

But much less!

Nope. depends on the degree of dilution and the diluent-solvent.

😆 Drying oil is generally one of those that dry out...
The first layer did not dry out, but was absorbed.

But I have a hard time understanding why the second layer is needed. after all, varnish would be more appropriate.
for the second layer (I really don’t know why it is needed), the drying oil must be liquefied almost to the state of water and covered the thinnest layer. When the diluent evaporates, “drying out” will occur.

Well, I didn't know)
At the moment, almost everything is dry, or absorbed))

Michael, is it dry? 🙂

Yeah :)
I was surfing through my created topics and saw this old stuff)

Is it necessary to dry the fiberboard if it acts as a substrate?

It was necessary to level the floors, but there was no way to make a screed.

How long does it take for drying oil to dry or when can you continue working?

We decided to install fiberboard. Do I need to pre-coat it with drying oil?

Of course, fiberboard is not the material that is placed on the floor or even as a substrate.

Fiberboard does not like moisture very much.

If possible, it is better to lay down plywood; the plywood should be no thinner than two centimeters.

As for the drying oil, it is better, of course, to dry it on both sides; if on one side, then the fiberboard can be unscrewed.

Before laying it on the floor, give it time to “sit”; do not nail the fiberboard to the floor right away.

If the room is damp, for example a kitchen, then drying oil will not save the fiberboard.

Alternatively, you can use paint instead of drying oil, dilute it with a solvent and paint the fiberboard on both sides, this paint will protect the fiberboard from moisture, the quality of the paint is in second place, it is important that it is present (although quite a lot of paint will be used, the surface is porous) .

Drying oil takes a long time to dry; when drying, it is advisable to use a temperature not lower than +20 degrees.

And lastly, in order to dry the fiberboard efficiently, heat the drying oil before applying it to the sheet; it must be heated to a temperature of fifty degrees.

It is advisable to cover the fiberboard with two layers of drying oil; before applying the second layer, you must allow the first to dry completely.

Naturally, two layers are applied to both sides of the fiberboard sheet.

When you put fiberboard on the floor, do not leave big gap for expansion.

Be sure to cover the fiberboard with drying oil on all sides, both the bottom and top, and carefully treat the ends, even in several layers!

The reasons for this are as follows:

Any room has its own humidity, which varies throughout the year depending on weather conditions, and fiberboard is susceptible to moisture accumulation, unless of course it is a special fiberboard that has been treated against water...
Everyone washes their floors, some with vacuum cleaners, and others with a rag on a mop the old fashioned way, and during washing, moisture can get onto the fiberboard substrate and be absorbed into it...
Also, no one is safe from a flood, when a large amount of water possibly gets under the floor...

Well, if water gets under the floor and the fiberboard absorbs it, then the following consequences are possible:

rotting
swelling
destruction

Which will subsequently lead to the need to change the substrate, i.e. for repair...

How to dry drying oil?

Apply drying oil to the surface of a metal barrel. The barrel has been sitting in a warm (+15 degrees) garage for a week and smells very strongly. How can you dry it faster?

Drying oil: varieties and applications

Is there a way to fit it into the day? If not, is it possible to dry it outside (currently the temperature is about 0)?

I wouldn’t like to upset you, but there is very little chance that the drying oil will dry out.

If there is a strong and unpleasant smell, then it is most likely Ansol drying oil, it is not even drying oil, but its artificial substitute, there is no vegetable oil in its composition at all, only petroleum products.

True, "Ansol" dries very quickly, a day maximum, which means you have two in one and the drying oil is not drying oil, and even stitched.

The first option is to try to dry it construction hairdryer(the usual one won’t work), direct the stream of hot air as if casually, so that the flow of hot air “fits” your barrel.

If nothing helps, then there are no options to dry it at all; the drying oil just needs to be removed from the surface.

You can remove drying oil with gasoline, you can use White Spirit, and also better solvent For oil paints"Solvent".

The procedure is not complicated, moisten a large rag with the products that I listed above (one of them, of course), then take a break for about forty minutes, then repeat the procedure, thus very quickly removing the drying oil from the barrel (You are writing about a whole day of work, that’s enough here several hours).

Drying oil has a short drying time, regardless of what it is made with. Usually it is 24-30 hours after application to the surface, after drying it shines and becomes glossy, the temperature required is 20 degrees Celsius.

If drying oil is expired, she has a nasty Strong smell, when applied, sticky, viscous, does not dry.

Yours metal barrel It dries for a week at a temperature of 15 degrees, but it stinks strongly, therefore the drying oil was old, there is no point in waiting for it to dry, the surface will only become more and more sticky, the smell does not dissipate even after a long period of time.

When working with wood and many other porous surfaces, one of the most commonly used materials is drying oil. We apply it as a primer or for other reasons. But those of you who have come across this product at least a few times know that it has a long drying time, and that work cannot be continued until this drying is complete.

The basis for the olive is overheated and specially oxidized vegetable oil. At the same time, various driers, solvents and other components characteristic of paint and varnish products are added there.

The main task of drying oil is to form a protective layer on the surface of the wood to prevent the penetration of moisture, mold, mildew, rot and insects. Finally, this material is used as a primer, allowing the paint to go on more smoothly and efficiently, and also reducing the consumption of this paint itself.

Do not forget that wood coated with linseed oil is very beautiful, so this paintwork It is also used for decorative purposes.

Types of drying oil

Drying oil drying time wooden surface or chipboard depends on the type of product. There are four options on the market today:

Natural;
Semi-natural;
Synthetic;
Combined.

Natural drying oil, unlike its synthetic “brothers,” is not a fire hazard, since it contains almost no solvents. However, the drying time depends on the type of oil. The product dries on linseed and hemp oil for 24 hours, but sunflower oil will still be sticky at this point

Semi-natural drying oil contains approximately 45 percent solvents. Like natural, it is used not only for coating wood, but also for diluting paint and varnish products. However, the semi-natural option is not used for flooring. Drying time is approximately 24 hours.

Synthetic drying oil is the cheapest. It is obtained by oxidizing shale oil followed by dissolution in xyol. Unlike all others, it is not used for processing household surfaces. Requires room ventilation. Its scope of application includes priming concrete, metal, diluting paint and varnish products, preparing plaster and mastic. Drying time is usually more than 24 hours

The combined drying oil dries in about a day. It is obtained by polymerization and dehydration of oils. It is not used for coating surfaces - it is used in paint production.

How to speed up the drying process of drying oil on a wooden surface or chipboard

Unlike paint, which dries after the solvent evaporates, drying oil dries through the process of oxidation, that is, by contacting oxygen.

Many people ask what to do if the drying oil does not dry out. In reality, you almost always have to wait, and there aren't many ways to speed up the process. One of them is to use a heat gun. The thing is that the process of drying oil drying is accelerated in conditions elevated temperature and low humidity. And the fan heater does this job very well. By the way, previously it was practiced to apply drying oil hot just to increase the drying speed.

Another way is to use a drier. Red lead is ideal. Please read the instructions carefully before use.

How to tell if drying oil is completely dry and what to do if it doesn’t dry

The main sign that this material completely dry - no stickiness. However, in some cases, drying oil does not dry out even after 10 days. Most likely the reason is marriage. There is no point in waiting for such drying oil to dry out - it is better to clean it from the surface. One way to do this is with white spirit. However, if the material is deeply embedded in the wood, a plane may be required.

Treating wood with drying oil has been practiced for several hundred years. Our ancestors used it to protect wood, give products a golden hue and make paints.

But, despite such advanced age and the emergence of many alternative compositions, impregnation of wood with drying oil is still relevant. We will talk further about what this product is, its types and methods of use.

What is drying oil and why is it needed?

So, drying oil is a liquid, flowing substance that resembles oil, but with a thicker consistency. The color can vary from dark brown to yellow-golden. The level of transparency can vary, although a completely opaque liquid is extremely rare and usually indicates a quality problem.

Initially, all such compositions were made exclusively on natural oils. Most often it was used, although in some cases sunflower or hemp was used. Scientifically technical progress made his own adjustments and now semi-synthetic and synthetic drying oils have appeared.

As for the scope, it is very diverse. Such compositions are the basis for the production of oil-based liquid and thick-based paints. A whole range of putties and grouts are made from drying oil.

It acts as a primer for many compounds when processing metal or concrete. But the most popular is coating wood with drying oil.

Types of compositions

As already mentioned, many different compositions are now produced, collectively called drying oil. Experts identify several main areas. In particular, these are natural, semi-natural, combined, alkyd and synthetic compositions.

Natural based compositions

The name speaks for itself. Drying, sometimes semi-drying vegetable oils are taken as the basis here. In rare cases and small quantity Solvents can be added here, but only on a natural basis.

The standard is GOST 7931-76.

Composition based linseed oil deservedly considered classic and of the highest quality. This is a thick, light transparent liquid obtained by prolonged boiling and adding a drier.

The range of applications is quite wide:

They can be used as a primer under wooden, metal or plastered surfaces.
It is linen compositions that are used for the production of light oil-based thickly grated paints, grouts and putties. Putties and lubricating pastes are also made from them.
Most often it is used for interior work. Flaxseed oil for exterior woodwork can theoretically be used, but this is not advisable, since its price is higher, plus there are targeted synthetic protective compounds.

The speed of work completion directly depends on how long the drying oil dries on the tree. IN in this case at a temperature not lower than 20ºС, drying time does not exceed 24 hours.

Important: the drier is added to one degree or another to any such composition; in fact, it is a kind of hardener. But you need to add it without fanaticism, as a rule, no more than 3 - 5% per 1 liter. Otherwise, the dried film will peel off.

The video in this article contains Additional Information on this topic.

Conclusion

Regardless of which drying oil you decide to use, all compositions of this type belong to the fire hazard category. Both the containers themselves and the application tool should be in an isolated place, away from electrical wiring or open flame.

Wood is the most popular and environmentally friendly pure material in construction. And to preserve all its properties, it is treated with drying oil. Craftsmen who have encountered this substance know very well how long it takes to dry on wood, and that this process lasts quite a long time. However, until the surface is dry, further work cannot be continued. After drying, the drying oil creates a protective thin layer.

Why is drying oil needed and where is it used?

First of all, she is paint and varnish material, which is obtained from superheated vegetable oil. Various components are also added to the solution, such as solvent and alkyd resins, which are the main components.

The main function is to create on the surface protective film, which protects the material from mold, insects, mildew and dirt. Drying oil is also used for priming. With it, the paint is applied more evenly and economically.

You should also know that a surface covered with drying oil looks very beautiful. Therefore, it can also be used to improve appearance.

What types of drying oil are there?

The drying time of the composition on wood or wood-based particle material differs, since different types solutions dry differently. Also, all types are designed for different purposes. And before use, it is imperative to determine for what work it is needed. There are four types:

1. natural. Compared to other types, they are not flammable, since they do not contain flammable impurities. The hardening time will depend on the type of oil. It will take about a day for flax-based material to dry, but from sunflower oil it won’t have time to dry in that amount of time;

2. semi-natural. Half are made of flammable materials. They can be used not only to coat wood, but also to thin out paint. Its drying time will be approximately a day;

3. artificial. They are the cheapest. They are made from shale oil and then dissolved in an acidic substance. This type of solution is not used to protect wood or metal material. It must not be used in indoors. Mainly diluted with plaster, concrete and mastic. Dries in more than a day;

4. mixed. They dry in no more than a day. They are made by dehydrating oils, and are used purely for the manufacture of paints.

How to dry drying oil faster on wood or chipboard?

Compared to paint, which hardens after the solvent evaporates, drying oil takes much longer to dry. Drying occurs as a result of the interaction of the substance with oxygen and oxidation.

Many people are interested in the question: how to dry drying oil as quickly as possible? But speeding up the process is not so easy, and there are only a few methods. These methods include the use of a heat gun, which reduces humidity and increases temperature. Also, applying a hot composition can increase the hardening process, but this method has not been used for a long time. You can also use a drying agent designed specifically for drying varnish materials. But before doing this, you should carefully read the instructions.

How to determine complete drying?

The main factor indicating 100% drying is the absence of stickiness. But there are cases when hardening does not occur even after ten days, and the main reason is the low quality of the coloring matter. In this case, it is not recommended to wait for complete drying. It is better to clean the surface and apply a new layer.

To remove a defective solution, you can use a solvent, but if the drying oil is absorbed deeply into the wood, then it will have to be removed with a plane.

Why apply hot drying oil?

If you treat wood with a heated mixture, this will significantly increase its durability. After which the material can be coated with varnish or enamel. Water-based paint It is not recommended to apply it, as it will not adhere well. This applies to all substances made from water.
