Technical Details
Key Technical Data
Installation Guide
The oil can be used directly onto untreated timber. It can be applied by brush, roller, cloth or by spraying. The aim of the oil when treating wood is to fill all the pores so the wood is fully saturated therefore protecting the surface from water, dirt, stains etc… Two coats are generally recommended with a very light sanding between coats (180 – 220 Grit) If the oil is fully absorbed due to the wood already being saturated, any excess oil should be removed within 10 minutes of application – a fluff free cloth or a spatula is best to remove any excess.
For previously Oiled surface the renovation is very simple; clean the surface as normal and apply a new layer of the Hard Oil 126. Sometimes only part of the floor will need a renovation and just the worn parts need to be treated to blend in with the rest of the area. (If a different product was used a test area for compatibility should be done prior to undertaking a large area). If the area was previously varnished or painted the surface will need to be sanded back to bare wood again before oiling.
A colour can be added to the oil by using the Auro Colour Concentrate 150. The more Colour Concentrate that is added the darker the shade while remaining transparent so the woods grain can still show through. A maximum of 20% Colour Concentrate can be added to this oil.
The Oil has excellent coverage – 20sq/m per litre and is very easy to apply by brush, roller or by spraying. It is re-coatable after 24 hours. It can be thinned up to 30% with Orange Oil 191 if needed. All ingredients are fully declared on the tin and in the data sheet. For added protection, and a harder wearing surface a layer of Auro Hard Wax 171 can be used after this oil.
Hints and Tips
Use a spatula when removing any excess that has not been absorbed – the excess oil can be put back into the tin for future use so there is no waste.
Safety first: There is a danger of spontaneous ignition of drying oils. Do not crumble used cleaning cloths and the like. Spread them out for drying or store them in an air-tight closed metal container.
