Application for raw untreated timber:
- Stir and shake well.
- With a roller, wet-on-wet, repeat rolling until the entire surface remains wet and the wood no longer absorbs oil (up to 60 minutes depending on the type of wood).
- Remove excess oil with a trowel or rubber blade and immediately buff in with a white PAD (Ø 400 mm) until there are no residues. There must be no shiny patches or oil splashes, it must appear dry. For hard to reach surfaces, use a lint-free cloth.
- For softer porous timbers, apply a thin coat using a slow speed buffer and white pad. Polish with a red pad after at least 12 hours drying time.
