Use LINSEED OIL PAINT HALF-SHEEN, white or desired colour, for outdoor panels and other coarse surfaces where a matt finish is desired and brush strokes are not noticeable. Brushstrokes remain visible on surfaces painted with semi-matt paint. Use LINSEED OIL PAINT SEMI-GLOSS, white or desired colour, for carpentry and other smooth surfaces where imperceptible brush strokes are desired. The semi-gloss paint is to some extent tixotropic, i.e. the brushstrokes smooth out during painting.
