Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old finishes. Sand smooth if necessary, starting with a coarser grit and finishing with a fine grit (e.g., 240 grit). Wipe away all dust.
Application:
- Apply Liberon Pure Tung Oil thinly and evenly using a clean, lint-free cloth or a brush.
- Allow the oil to penetrate the wood for 15-30 minutes.
- Wipe off any excess oil thoroughly with a clean cloth. Failure to remove excess oil can result in a sticky surface.
- Allow the first coat to dry for at least 24 hours (longer in cool or humid conditions) before applying a second coat. Repeat this process for 3-6 coats, depending on the desired level of protection.
Compatibility: Suitable for all interior hardwoods and softwoods, including kitchen worktops, tables, and general joinery. Also recommended for exterior oak.
Care: Clean the oiled surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For minor scratches or wear, reapply a thin coat of tung oil following the application steps. For regular maintenance, a light buffing with a clean cloth can refresh the finish.
