Anyone used this anti-mould linseed oil?

No I haven't but it looks interesting till you read the blurb on it.

"A: Anti-Mould Linseed Oil is a ‘Ready to Use’ Linseed Oil that doesn’t require thinning. It has ‘anti-
mould’ additives that help reduce mould growth."

It only reduces mould growth not eliminate it.

So anyone prepared to do a test?

I used it on these steps

It's much thinner than regular LO and BLO, so it soaks into the wood very easily and it does indeed dry quite fast.

Does it reduce mould? The steps are outside and exposed to the weather and while they are clear of mould 3 months after the LO has been applied without a side by side test I wouldn't know.

I put some on the work today although I've decided to mount it under a small roof structure against a wall so it will be virtually undercover. seems to be a pretty convenient formulation.
