Product Information

Full details

Polyvine Wood Oil in Brown is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, natural-looking finish for exterior and interior wood projects. Its primary benefit is deep penetration for superior waterproofing and UV protection, while a key caveat is the need for careful surface preparation and specific application conditions to ensure optimal results. This ultra-low VOC oil highlights the wood's natural grain with a silky sheen, offering preservation against algae, mildew, and fungal attack without solvents or peeling.

FAQs

What surfaces is Polyvine Wood Oil suitable for?

It is suitable for a wide range of softwood and hardwood applications, including fencing, cladding, sheds, summer houses, pergolas, furniture, tables, doors, worktops, flooring, and staircases for both interior and exterior use.

How long does it take to dry?

The drying time for each coat is approximately 12 hours. Recoat time is also 12 hours. However, low temperatures or high humidity can significantly increase drying times.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage rate is approximately 16-20 square metres per litre, depending on the porosity of the wood and the application thickness.

Can I use this in cold weather?

No, do not apply the oil when the temperature is below 5°C. Cold temperatures can affect drying and performance.

Does this product contain solvents?

No, this wood oil has no added solvents and is formulated with a very high solids content based on renewable oils.

How should I prepare the wood before applying?

The timber must be clean, non-oily, and thoroughly dry. All old coatings must be removed to expose bare wood. If not pressure treated, an appropriate wood preservative should be applied first.

What does 'ultra-low VOC' mean for me?

Ultra-low VOC means the product releases very few volatile organic compounds into the air during application and drying. This is better for indoor air quality and the environment. Polyvine Wood Oil has less than 7g/l VOC, far below the EU standard of 400g/l.

Troubleshooting

Wood feels sticky or tacky after application.

This can happen if applied too thickly or if drying conditions are poor. Ensure a thin coat was applied. If still tacky after 24-48 hours, a light sanding and reapplication of a thin coat may be necessary, or check that the timber type is not one prone to inhibiting drying. Ensure application temperature was above 5°C.

Uneven sheen or patchy appearance.

Ensure the oil was applied evenly and worked into the grain. Some woods absorb oil differently. A third thin coat applied evenly may resolve the issue. Ensure thorough stirring before application.

Wood still shows signs of water damage.

Ensure thorough saturation during application. Check for missed spots or areas not fully protected. Reapply a thin, even coat, ensuring complete coverage and working the oil into the grain.

Product is difficult to apply on certain hardwoods.

Timbers with high natural oils like Teak or Iroko may require wiping with methylated spirit prior to application to aid penetration and adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent waterproofing and UV protection for longevity.
  • Enhances natural wood beauty with a subtle, silky sheen.
  • Environmentally friendly with ultra-low VOC content.
  • Durable finish that resists peeling and blistering.
  • Offers protection against biological growth like algae and mildew.

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation, including removal of old coatings.
  • Drying time can be extended in low temperatures or high humidity.
  • May inhibit drying on timbers with high natural oil content (e.g., Teak, Iroko).
  • Application temperature must be above 5°C.
  • Disposal of application materials may require specific procedures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure new timber is clean, dry, and free from oil or grease.
  2. Remove all old coatings completely back to bare wood.
  3. If the timber is not pressure treated, apply a suitable wood preservative.

Application:

  1. Stir the oil thoroughly before use.
  2. Apply a thin, even coat using a clean, lint-free cloth, working in the direction of the wood grain.
  3. Ensure the oil is worked well into the grain and the timber is fully saturated.
  4. Allow the first coat to dry for a minimum of 12 hours.
  5. Apply a second coat and allow to dry.
  6. Do not apply when the temperature is below 5°C or when rain is imminent.

Compatibility: Suitable for softwood and hardwood timber applications. For timbers containing high natural oils (e.g., Teak, Iroko), wiping the surface with methylated spirit before application can assist penetration and adhesion.

Care: Clean tools and spills with appropriate methods as advised for solvent-based products if necessary (though this product has no added solvents). Ensure cloths soaked in the product are handled according to disposal guidelines to prevent spontaneous combustion.
