How to do...

An oil finish with Wood Floor Oil may be done either manually or with polishing machine. It is recommended to use a polishing machine for areas larger than 15 m2. The Wood Floor Oil Natural is mainly used on dark wood species and enhances the natural warm glow of the wood whereas light wood species are often finished with Wood Floor Oil White which maintains and protects the natural light colour.

1. The unfinished woodwork should be freshly sanded with grit 120. Clean with 125 ml Wood Cleaner mixed with 5 l water. The floor must be completely dry and free from dirt and grease before the oil application. Recommended wood moisture max. 12%. The oiling is made at min. 18° C.

2. Shake oil container well before and during use. Apply the oil with a short-haired paint roller in an even coat onto approx. 5-10 m2 of floor. Leave the oil to be absorbed for 15 minutes. If dry spots appear, apply more oil.

3. Excess oil is removed or scraped onto next section of floor to be finished. The area is now polished with a beige polishing pad under doodle-bug or with floor machine until the area appears saturated. The floor should not appear wet and there should not be any excess oil left on the surface after polishing. Continue in sections until the whole floor has been finished.

4. After 8-12 hours or when dry enough to walk on the floor should be buffed with white polishing pad. If a silk-mat surface is required, the finished floor may be buffed with 100 ml Wood Floor Oil to 15 m2 of floor. This is done after the pre-hardening time and the oil must be polished carefully into the floor. Remove any excess oil from the surface. After 24 hours the floor may be used with caution. The surface is fully hardened after 4-7 days. Do not expose the floor to water during the hardening time.

Please notice:
Risk of self-ignition! Due to the risk of self-ignition
it is important that sanding dust and oil wetted cloths
are soaked in water and disposed of in a tightly closed container after use.
