Not mentioned (unless I missed it) linseed oil gives the wood important breathability, so it won't rot.

Helpful step-by-step instructions, thank you! I'm curious why turpentine is used in the primer. I haven't seen that included before. Does it perform any special purpose, or can that be skipped?

[@AshwanikumarSainiARTER]

Thank you very nice tutorial 🙂 What happens if I don't put any turpentine in the oil paint? How much time will it take to dry then?

Why don’t people use this on interior trim instead of gloss?

What is the soap that you use to clean the brushes?

I am searching but not finding;
* is it best to prime and apply one universal undercoat on steel and timber window frames before applying putty
* how long must the putty in steel and wood frames be left to 'cure before it can be painted over?
* what type of paint is applied directly onto putty

the putty i bought had instructions on the tub, it said to paint the putty more than 2 weeks after glazing, but less than 4 weeks after

Don’t microporous paints allow timber to breathe?

Once you find yourself in the next century ...think about applying a second coat of paint

Don't paint the hardware!!!

While I would agree from an aesthetic point of view linseed oil paint is suitable for metal too
