Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure the exterior wood surface is completely clean, dry, and free from any existing varnish or finishes. It is crucial to remove any surface mould or grime; using Liberon Garden Furniture Cleaner beforehand is recommended, as residual grime can cause the timber to blacken once oiled.
Application: Shake the oil well before use. Apply generously using a clean brush or a lint-free cotton cloth. Allow the oil to penetrate the wood for up to 20 minutes. After this period, wipe away any excess oil with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent a sticky surface. Allow each coat to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before applying subsequent coats. Liberon recommends a minimum of three coats for optimal protection, with additional coats advised for areas more exposed to the elements.
Drying: Treated furniture should not be used until the oil has had a full 24 hours to dry and cure.
Care: Regularly clean furniture with a damp cloth. Reapplication of the oil may be necessary annually or when the wood begins to look dry, depending on exposure.
