Troubleshooting

Uneven Finish

Ensure the oil is applied in a thin, even coat. Avoid pooling and wipe away any excess oil.

Slow Drying Time

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the temperature is within the recommended range. Check the humidity levels, as high humidity can slow drying.

Surface is Sticky

Wipe away the excess oil. Too much oil applied can result in a sticky surface.

Water Spots

If water spots appear, clean the area and reapply the oil after light sanding.
