Jean from Auburn, Al writes
I have 2 reclaimed doors that are 115 years old. They were sanded and had linseed oil applied. Will Boracare penetrate this wood to preserve them even more?
Boracare really is designed to only be applied to raw wood that has no finish or treatment on it of any kind. The linseed oil may prevent the Borcare from penetrating into the wood of the door. If you can sand some of it off (depending on how deep the oil penetrated into the door), you may be able to apply the Boracare with sucess, however we cannot guarantee it will soak in the way its intended since the oil has been applied.
