It maintains the natural look of the wood while forming a highly durable barrier against water, stains, heat, dirt, and wear. This Hard Wax Oil is particularly well-suited for humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms, but can be used throughout the home. It can be applied to bare wood or previously oiled wood. The matt or satin finish is washable with mild detergent, and tools can be easily cleaned with water. Hard Wax Oil is pleasant to use and does not have a strong odour. Preparation: Ensure the wood is bare, clean, and dry. For varnished, painted, or waxed wood, remove all old finishes with a stripper or by sanding the surface back to bare wood, then clean and remove all dust. For oiled wood, sand lightly with 240 grit paper and remove all dust. For bare wood, clean and sand lightly with 240 grit paper, then remove all dust. Application: Stir the contents of the tin well before use. Apply the first coat thinly with a brush or roller and allow it to dry for 8 hours. Then, sand with 240 grit paper and remove all dust. Apply a second coat in the same way as the first and allow it to dry for 24 hours. The final finish may vary depending on the type of wood, especially with hardwoods.
