Sealing limestone tiles

[wilbydoughboy]

I have some 100mm sq limestone tiles that are being fixed in my bathroom and need to seal them prior to them being fitted. I have some boiled linseed oil left over from an old job a good few years back which involved sealing some terracotta tiles. Is this oil ok for limestone, I tried a sample and it seemed ok to me but other people have said it is a fire hazard and not to use ? Has anyone experienced linseed oil breaking out in fire ?

Ok first off , no I wouldn't use it on limestone In a bathroom , it will colour enhance and IMHO not offer the protection required.


Oh and yes , I remember the days of combustible rags soaked in linseed oil lol lol lol ...

Solvent based sealers will combust on rags if subjected to sun heat enough etc..

It did shock me because it wasn't a particularly hot day and I only drove from the clients to mine, LUCKILY they were only 10 mins away, which for me is unusual in its self, got home opened the back and it was smoking like mad!
