Application Method 1 - when buffing the first coat with a machine

• Sand 120-150 grit - Hardwax Oil should always be applied to bare timber or over a previous coat of Hardwax Oil

• Apply a thin coat of ULTRA using a good quality roller

• Leave for 10 minutes

• Slow buff with a soft pad to remove excess

• Finish using a lint-free cloth under the buffer

• Leave for 45 minutes to dry with good ventilation

• Apply the final coat with a high-quality microfibre roller - do not buff this coat as there won’t be enough product left on the timber to protect properly

• Usually ready for use after 8 hours

• Usually ready for furniture after 18 hours

Application Method 2 - when applying with a brush or roller

• Sand 100-150 grit - Hardwax Oil should always be applied to bare timber or over a previous coat of Hardwax Oil

• Apply the first coat using a good quality brush or roller - do not apply thickly - this will result in extended drying times

• First coat will usually be dry within 3-6 hours with good ventilation and airflow

• Apply the second coat using a good quality brush or roller

• Usually ready for use after 8 hours

• Usually ready for furniture after 18 hours

Cleaning and Maintenance

• DO not apply the product too thickly as drying time will be significantly increased. The best conditions for drying are to raise the room temperature and increase the airflow using windows, a fan or opening a door.

• We stock great-quality Treatex brushes and rollers for use. alternatively use a high-quality microfibre roller or brush.

• Wrap a plastic bag around wet rollers and brushes to prevent them from drying out between coats.

• Treatex Thinners or white spirit are the best way to clean wet brushes and rollers.

Self combustion

• Treatex contains Linseed oil just like other natural oil-based products. You should therefore empty the sawdust out of your mechanical sander before working with anything that has a freshly applied linseed oil-based product. This is because there is a small but possible risk of self-combustion.
