FAQs

What types of wood is this oil suitable for?

This oil is developed to treat garden furniture made from European or exotic wood types.

How often should I reapply the protective oil?

Reapplication frequency depends on exposure to weather. For optimal protection, it is recommended to reapply annually or as needed when the wood starts to look dry or less water-repellent.

Can I use this oil on indoor wooden furniture?

While primarily designed for outdoor furniture, it can be used indoors if the environment is prone to moisture or staining. However, ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.

What is the drying time before I can use the furniture?

For small areas, wait until the final wipe-off is complete. For large areas, wait at least 24 hours before reusing the furniture.

Does this oil change the color of the wood?

The formula is colorless and is designed to nourish the wood while preserving its natural appearance. It revives the look of greyed wood without adding color.

How do I clean my furniture after applying the oil?

Clean your furniture with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective layer.

What is the difference between this oil and a varnish?

This oil penetrates the wood to nourish it from within, providing a natural look and feel. Varnish typically forms a surface film that can crack or peel over time, especially with the expansion and contraction of wood due to weather changes.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears streaky or uneven after application

This can happen if excess oil was not wiped off properly. Ensure all excess is removed while the oil is still wet or within the recommended wipe-off time. If the issue persists after drying, a light sanding and reapplication may be necessary.

Wood remains grey and dull

The wood may not have been properly prepared, or it might require a second coat. Ensure the wood was clean and dry before application. For stubborn grey tones, consider a wood brightener or sand the surface before oiling.

Oil is not penetrating the wood

Check if the wood surface is sealed or previously treated with a non-porous finish. The wood must be bare and absorbent for the oil to penetrate. Clean and strip any existing finishes if necessary.

Water is still beading on the surface after drying

This might indicate the oil has not fully cured or that the surface is still too smooth. Ensure the recommended drying times are met. If the wood is naturally very dense, it might take longer to cure.

  2. Allow the oil to penetrate for the recommended time.
  3. Wipe off excess oil thoroughly.
