Description
Classic golden yellow color that has been used unbroken for almost 300 years as a door and window color outdoors. It has the same warmth as oak. It has also been used to create the illusion of oak. It is also commonly mixed with white to give a manor yellow color (30 – 10% yellow ochre).
Our Gulockra linseed oil paint was replaced in 2017 with Gulockra natural linseed oil paint, which is made entirely from the finest earth color pigment imaginable, golden ochre from France. A linseed oil paint pigmented with genuine earth color pigments gives an extra dimension to the painted surface.
The pigment is made from clay soils that have been washed and bleached by nature itself over thousands of years and is produced in the same way today as it was hundreds of years ago. Natural clay pigments such as golden ochre and red ochre are both muted and vibrant, giving natural color tones.
If you want the same shade as previous breaks of our previous color gulockra, you should break according to the table below when breaking with Gulockra natur.
60% Gulockra = 80% Gulockra natural
30% Gulockra = 60% Gulockra natural
15% Gulockra = 30% Gulockra natural
The course of the painting
Priming: Prime with the paint thinned with about 10% turpentine. Outdoors, special primer, so-called zinc white primer, is required for light colors.
Intermediate coat: Intermediate coat with the paint thinned with 5% turpentine.
The final coat is applied with undiluted paint. If you want to avoid gloss in the paint, you can also thin the final coating with about 5% turpentine.
Suitable painting weather: Paint in temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius. At lower temperatures the paint dries slowly and easily becomes too thick. The moisture content of the wood should be below 15%. Do not paint in direct sunlight.
Drying time: Dries indoors after one day, overpaintable after two. Dries outdoors after two days, can be painted over after three. If the paint has not dried within this time, it is probably too thick.
Equipment: Linseed oil paint is applied with a round, stiff and dense natural bristle brush. The paint is “smoothed” with a flat paintbrush. Do not roll. Do not spray.
Brush washing: Wash in turpentine, then in linseed oil soap and water. Save on washing by storing used brushes in raw linseed oil instead.
Storage: Almost unlimited storage time in a well-filled jar. Place the jar upside down to prevent air from entering. Store in a cool place. Can withstand frost. Stir well, as some pigments sink and a sediment forms.
Glaze: The paint can be used as a glaze on clean wooden surfaces indoors and outdoors, if diluted with 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 turpentine. As a base, a half-oil of 50% boiled linseed oil and 50% turpentine is recommended.
Tips! Many people paint linseed oil paint too thickly and with brushes that are too thin. This causes the paint to run, wrinkle and have difficulty drying. So paint thinly and with good brushes! You can find lots of other good advice and tips for painting with linseed oil paint in our articles.
ATTENTION! Rags soaked in linseed oil paint can spontaneously combust. Therefore, put them in water or burn them.
