Manufacturing process.
So, the author does not like the smell of linseed oil, and he decided to make an impregnation according to another recipe.
You will need to pour the oil into an old, unnecessary pan, and heat it. The oil temperature should be such that beeswax melts in it. Just the master acquired the honeycomb. They melt quite quickly.
After some time, all the wax melted, and the liquid turned into such a dark color.
While it is still hot, Vladimir poured the impregnation into cans. What remains at the bottom of the pan can be discarded.
In the workshop, the impregnation cooled down, and acquired a beautiful orange hue. In addition, it thickened and looked like pasta.
He will carry out tests on a piece of an oak board. After impregnation, the surface acquired a pleasant color and luster. For better absorption, the surface can be slightly heated with a hairdryer, and apply several layers. The author will leave one layer without heat treatment.
He wants to wet the surface, and see if the pile rises. After a while, it removes drops of water.
So, the result. Impregnation reliably protected the surface of the wood, and did not lose its luster. Moreover, it is absolutely environmentally friendly, and harmless in contact with food. She can safely handle wooden spoons, cutting boards, and the surface of wooden kitchen tables.
