WoCa Worktop Oil

Worktop Oil

for the oil finishing of worktops

Worktop Oil is developed for untreated or previously oiled/sanded wood surfaces. The oil makes the surface highly water and dirt repellent. Use Worktop Oil, Natural, on dark wood species such as mahogany, merbau, teak and cherry, etc. It gives the wood a mellow, golden colour. Use Worktop Oil, white, on light wood species such as ash, oak, beech, maple, birch and pine, to give the wood a beautiful, light colour.

Available in
Worktop Oil is available in natural and white in 0,75 litre container.

Tools
Brush, roller or lint-free cotton cloths. Possibly oil-wetted sanding paper 320-400 grit and white polishing pad.

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

How to do...

1. If the surface is particularly mooth, sand the surface with sandpaper grit 180. Make sure the wood is dry and avoid of any dirt or grease. Clean the wood with Wood Cleaner. After cleaning, let the tabletop dry for at least 8 hours.

2. Stir the oil thoroughly before use. Use a paintbrush to apply a suitable amount of oil in an even, adequate
coat. Wait approx. 20-30 minutes at 20°C as the oil penetrates into the wood. If necessary, sand the wood while the surface is still wet with oil. Sand wet lengthwise of the wood grain with sandpaper grit 320-400.
Next, wipe off all excess oil using a lint-free cotton cloth. Do not leave any excess oil on the surface. Polish the wood carefully using a white polishing pad, which ensures a harder wearing surface. Repeat the treatment on highly absorbent surfaces. The oil is thoroughly hardened after 24 hours at 20° C. Do not let the tabletop become wet during the hardening process.

Maintenance
Use Worktop Oil or Oil Mousse to maintain the tabletop four times a year, or as often as necessary. Before starting the maintenance procedure, clean the worktop using Wood Cleaner, and let the surface dry for at least 8 hours.
