DESCRIPTION: These penetrating and finishing oils
are designed to deepen and enhance the natural grain of timber.
They give a matt or satin finish and can be used on any interior
wooden surface which is not subjected to heavy wear. Bio Natural
Wood Oil can be used as complete finishes, or in conjunction
with other Bio products (see below). These oils should not be used
on alkaline surfaces, plaster, concrete or fibro-cement. If
considering use on other materials (such as brick, ceramic or
cork), test-strips should be made to assess suitability.
PREPARATION: Surfaces should be well sanded, dry
and cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO
Thinner. Do not apply coatings to unseasoned or wet timber.
Imperfect coats may require complete stripping before applying BIO
products. Round off sharp edges. It is also good practice to prime
back surfaces. Hardwoods and other timbers rich in natural
oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be degreased using BIO
Thinner because these substances may mix with the oils and prolong
its drying time.
APPLICATION: Brush, dip or spray BIO Oils working
them well into the grain. Do not apply more oil than the surface
can absorb. Maintain a wet edge when painting. Remove excess
oil with a dry, lint free cloth after approx. 15-30 minutes. Test
the absorbency of the surface before application: for very
absorbent timber, work in small areas otherwise the oil might dry
before you are able to wipe off the excess, causing an uneven
patchy finish. Drying time is 24 to 72 hours. Do not use when
temperature is below +10C and/or the relative humidity is above
80%; e.g. cold damp conditions, when condensation, rain, dew or
frost are likely to occur or hot days, direct sunlight or hot
surfaces. BIO OILS may penetrate timber pores more easily if
warmed to 60 +C. For matt finish apply one coat, for satin finish
apply three coats. Repair and refinish by applying additional
coats. Provide adequate ventilation during application and
drying.
Finishing: Bio oils can be used as complete finishes or
they can be supplemented with:
- BIO All Purpose Varnish
- BIO Floor Varnish
- BIO Antique Wax
- BIO Japanese Seedlac - only after the oil has thoroughly dried
and cured.
CLEANING: Use BIO Thinner.
