BIO Teak Oil

DESCRIPTION:  A breathing, satin, water-repellent, oil based finish for use on interior timber, cork, unglazed floor tiles and porous stone surfaces. Bio Teak Oil can be used as a complete finish. Do not use on alkaline surfaces, plaster, concrete, fibro cement or in a constantly humid environment. Test strips should be made on other materials such as brick and ceramic tiles.

PREPARATION:  Do not apply coatings to unseasoned or wet timber. Wood should be well sanded, dry and cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO Thinner. Round off sharp edges. It is also good practice to prime back surfaces. Hardwoods and timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be degreased using Bio Thinner to ensure these substances do not mix with the varnish and prolong its drying time. Let dry for 24 hours. Imperfect coats may require complete stripping before applying BIO products. Final sanding before application should be done with sandpaper grade 120 or 180

APPLICATION:  Brush, dip or spray. Do not apply more than the surface can absorb. Maintain a wet edge when painting.  Remove excess oil with a dry lint free cloth after 10-20 Minutes. Apply one to two thin coat, or up to four thin coats on highly absorbent surfaces. Allow first coat to dry for 24-48 hours. Sand lightly with fine-grain sandpaper, then repeat the process with each coat.  When using on floor boards start to polish the oil immediately after you have removed the excess oil. Do not use when the temperature is below 10+ C and/or the relative humidity is above 80% e.g. cold damp conditions, or when condensation,  frost are likely to occur or hot days and direct sunlight and hot surfaces. Provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

DRYING:  Touch dry after 5-7 hours. Do not walk on treated floors for 3 days. Normal use after 7-10 days.

FINISHING TREATMENT:  For greater protection, a thin coat of BIO ANTIQUE WAX or BIO HARD FLOOR WAX may be applied after drying. For regular maintenance of floor boards use BIO TIMBER CARE POLISH.

INGREDIENTS:  Based on plant oils, resins, essential oils, paraffin oil, lead free drying agent.

COVERAGE:  1 Litre covers approx. 8 - 12 sqm., depending on the absorbency of the substrate.

On floors only: Softwood approx. 20-30 sqm & Hardwood approx. 25-40 sqm.

PACAKAGING:  1 and 4 Litres

STORAGE:  Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Decant remains into a smaller container to minimise reaction with air, as skin may form once container has been opened.

DISPOSAL:  Do not pour left over oil down the drain. Unwanted oil should be brushed out on newspaper, allowed to dry and then disposed of via domestic waste collection. Let empty container dry out well and dispose via recycling program.

PRECAUTION:  Keep away from open flames and out of the reach of children. Please dispose of used rags in a sealed metal container. Can spontaneously combust
