To obtain an attractive surface treatment, it is necessary to observe some important points.

Sanding the wood

• Particularly in the transition zone from peripheral sanding to surface sanding, the floor must have a smooth sanding, without defects

• Recommended grain, eg 100-120 for oak, 150 for cherry
• Do not skip when sanding wood. Respect the order
• Final sanding in the direction of the wood fibers to prevent further cloud formation

Application of oils

• Do not pour the oils on the floor, to avoid the formation of stains and carry out the treatment with a clean container.

• Apply at saturation the oil by approx. 1 m wide, long and perpendicular to the fibers.

• Leave to act briefly, then penetrate in the still wet state by means of a beige pad with a monobrush polisher
• Allow the oil to fully penetrate, otherwise annoying shiny matte areas may form.

Note

• For red woods (eg sprayed beech, pear and cherry), we recommend diluting the first layer with approx. 30% of white spirit odorless. More homogeneous oil absorption during 2nd treatment

Adding hardener

• Mattöl 1410M 10% Unipur Härter 279 / H901 hardener can be mixed to improve the resistance to water and common chemicals

• If colored oils are used, the pigment fixation is also greater
• The application time with a hardener (open time) corresponds to that of the product Mattöl 1410M (matt oil) standard

• The pot life with the hardener is 4 h / 20ºC

• Apply 2nd coat at the earliest after 5 pm (4 pm if colored)
• Floor covering freshly coated with oil
• Do not cover oil-coated floors for 3 to 4 days. During this interval, the room should be well ventilated. Use only cardboard or blanket paper. Do not use diffusion coating materials, such as PE films.

• Caution Oil-soaked rags are self-igniting and should always be put in a container!
• Store them in a closed metal bucket until disposal or extend them and let them dry in the open air.
