Preparing and Applying

Preparing:

We always suggest that surfaces ought to be dry and clear, and that all hints of residue and soil be eliminated with a brush or vacuum cleaner before applying a wood finish.

The need of sanding and eliminating past finishes from the surface will rely upon the oil, wax or stain utilized (see product instructions for direction on this).

Applying:

Fiddes Hard Wax Oil can be applied directly from the tin onto a prepared surface with a good quality natural bristle paint brush, cloth, microfibre roller or other floor finish applicator. It is ideally applied in a well ventilated area at room temperature. For best results and maximum protection, Fiddes recommend 2 thin coats on hardwoods such as oak. Some softwoods such as pine may accept 3 thin coats but a test area is highly recommended to test absorption.

1. Apply thinly and evenly, working the hardwax oil into the wood following the direction of the grain
2. Remove any excess hard wax oil immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth
3. Leave to dry 4-6 hours in warm, dry, well ventilated conditions
