- Reduces surface splitting

Preparation
Ensure surface to be oiled is smooth, clean, dry and free of contamination. For surfaces previously treated with oils or waxes clean back the surface to bare timber with fine wire wool and white spirit, working along the grain. Previously painted or varnished surfaces should be stripped back to bare using Blackfriar Professional Paint and Varnish Remover. Any French polish on surfaces must also be completely removed.
Application
Ensure the product is thoroughly shaken prior to use. Apply oil liberally by brush or rag. Leave for a few minutes for the oil to absorb into the wood then wipe off any surplus. Allow the oil to dry for 24 hours before using or recoating. When applying to new wood thin the first coat with 5% white spirit.
Thinning
Maximum 10% white spirit.
Limitations
Do not apply in wet conditions or if the temperature is below 5°C. For best results apply a minimum of three coats leaving a minimum of 24 hours between coats. Apply regularly to maintain protection of wood (at least annually).
Coverage
Up to 14m² per litre per coat. Dependant on porosity of wood.
Drying Time
Touch dry in 6 - 8 hours. Recoat after 24 hours and within 3 days. Drying times are based on an ambient temperature of 20°C and 50% relative humidity. Lower temperatures or higher humidity will prolong the drying and overcoating times.
Clean Up
Take extra care as application cloths and soiled cleaning rags may self ignite without warning. Lay cloths out flat in single layers to dry, or wash out thoroughly in warm soapy water before disposal. Remove as much product from application equipment as possible before washing with white spirit. Do not empty into drains or water courses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
Storage
Store in a dry, safe place. Do not store in environments where extreme temperatures may occur. Keep within 5-30°C. Do not store in direct sunlight.
