Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this on a wooden deck?
No, this product is specifically designed for vertical surfaces and does not have the wear resistance required for foot traffic.
Do I need to sand the wood before applying a maintenance coat?
No, one of the primary benefits of this oil is that it can be applied over existing coats without sanding.
Is it safe for my garden plants?
Yes, once the oil has fully dried, it is safe for plants, animals, and humans.
How many coats should I apply?
Two thin coats are recommended for new wood, while one coat is usually sufficient for maintenance.
What tools are best for application?
A high-quality bristle brush or a microfibre roller designed for oil-based finishes works best.
Will this oil hide the wood grain?
No, it is lightly pigmented, meaning it provides color while still allowing the natural grain and texture of the wood to show through.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks patchy or uneven.
This is often due to uneven absorption in the wood. Apply a very thin, consistent second coat to even out the appearance.
The oil is taking too long to dry.
Ensure that the application was thin. Excess oil on the surface prevents proper curing; wipe off any surplus with a lint-free cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the wood is clean, dry, and frost-free. Remove any old paint or varnishes before application to allow the oil to penetrate the pores effectively. Apply the oil thinly using a brush or roller, working along the wood grain. For the first application, two thin coats are typically recommended. When performing maintenance, simply clean the surface and apply one fresh coat directly over the existing finish—no sanding is required. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use.
