Penetrations of concrete specimens by solutions of boiled linseed oil in mineral spirits and emulsions of boiled linseed oil were measured. Concrete specimens were cured with polyethylene sheet (removable) and wax‐based and resin‐based compounds prior to penetration tests. Penetration was greatest at 35 days and least at four and seven days after curing. Penetration at 105 days was only slightly less at 35 days. Maximum penetrations were obtained with solutions more dilute than 50 volume per cent of linseed oil in mineral spirits. Penetrations on polyethylene‐, wax‐ or resin‐cured specimens varied from 1.5 to 3 mm when 50 volume per cent linseed oil solution or emulsion was spread on the specimen at the rate of 0.16 lb/yd 2 .
