How to use sealant.
Boiled linseed oil on brick floor.

Boiled linseed oil can be bought as linseed oil mineral spirit compound or linseed oil emulsion. Boiled linseed oil was applied in 2 coats prior to 2 coats of our satin floor sealer from go protect. The fashion now is for a dusty georgian look and this is very easily achieved for a terracotta or brick floor.
Boiled linseed oil treated with mineral spirits can be used to treat new or old concrete floors roads sidewalks curbs parking ramps floor walkways bridge decks and other similar concrete applications.
