Linseed Oil vs. Beeswax Finish

A traditional finishing technique used during colonial times (and prior) was the use of melted beeswax as a protective coating. The metal piece was warmed up, often placed back into the forge for a moment, then dipped into a warm container of melted beeswax. The beeswax preserved the natural character of the metal and protected against minor scratches or corrosion. Even so much as softening the feel of the metal when touched.

Hammered Hinges applies a boiled linseed oil to all the pieces using the same warming and dipping technique. A thin layer of linseed oil penetrates the metal and helps provide protection against corrosion. A beeswax finish adds additional costs and is slightly less effective. The drying time of linseed oil must be taken into consideration when deciding to purchase and use Hammed Hinges hardware.

Please keep in mind that the intention of Hammered Hinges is to reproduce the look and feel of antique hand made hardware. Corrosion is considered a characteristic result of these reproductions. Maintenance of these items can be a simple reapplication of linseed oil using a clean cloth.
