KEY
APPLICATION TIP: DO NOT
over apply to hardwood timbers. The use of lambswool / cloth-pad
applicators (NOT rollers) can save on the amount of rubbing
off excess oil after application.
NEW TIMBER CONSTRUCTIONS:
For superior protection, apply two coats to all accessible
surfaces prior to construction. After all, once it has been
built, the majority of the surface of your expensive new
timber may never be accessible again.
STAINING:
There are 3 colour options available – DO NOT add
further, other-brand colourants to our products. “Golden
Pine” and “Light Redwood” may be applied
to any species of timber, though their strengths are amplification
of your timber’s existing colour/s and their ability
to transform the usually bland appearance of Treated-Pine.
“Timber Tone” would be the best option for those
seeking the “natural” (lightest colour impact)
finish, providing a matt “wet-look” to red/brown
Hardwoods, and a light tan, honeyed effect on Pines and
blonde Hardwoods/Softwoods.
PREPARATION: See
our "How to Guides" for preparing Brand
New Timbers and Weathered
Timbers prior to Oiling.
MAINTENANCE:
After firstly ensuring timber is CLEAN and DRY, only 1 (ONE)
coat re-application is required to areas seen to be necessary
every 6 - 18 months (depending on the intensity of the timber's
exposure to U-V rays).
CLEAN UP:
with warm soapy water or Gum Turpentine.
COVERAGE:
These estimates are quoted in square metres per litre. Actual
Coverage will depend on the type of timber and its preparation.
Bear in mind that unnecessarily using too much oil not only
costs you more but could also lead to a tacky finish and
possible whitening when moisture contacts excess oil residues.
