Instructions
Ensure good ventilation at all times during the application and drying time.
- Sand the wood surface with 180 grit paper.
- Prep the wood surface with WOCA Wood Cleaner (125 ml per 2.5L of lukewarm water). This is not optional. After applying, let the wood dry completely.
- Stir the oil thoroughly before use.
- Use a paintbrush to apply oil in an even coat.
- Wait approx. 20-30 minutes at a minimum of 20ºC (room temperature) as the oil penetrates into the wood.
- For best results, cut a white or red buffing pad and patina disc to fit an orbital hand sander (pad/disc can also be used to hand polish). Polish the wet oil into the wood until the surface feels smooth and uniform. Keep adding oil and keep polishing until entire surface feels smooth and uniform.
- Next, wipe off all excess oil using a lint-free cotton cloth. Do not leave any excess oil on the surface.
- Polish the wood using a white polishing pad or wool pad (by hand or with an orbital sander).
- On highly absorbent wood surfaces, a second oil treatment may be necessary.
- The oil is thoroughly hardened after 24 hours at 20ºC. Do not let the treated surface become wet during the hardening process.
Tip: To reuse patina disc, clean with mineral spirits and rinse in water.
