Preparation

Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra works best on untreated timber but can be applied over a previous coating of hardwax oil if it is clean and suitable for treating. If in doubt of the type of finish, it is better to fully remove. Sand the timber to 120 grit to provide best absorption. Do NOT wash the surface with white spirit etc. or water after sanding. All sawdust should be removed with a hoover or tac cloth. Ensure that enough product has been purchased to complete the work as required. If applying to a floor with underfloor heating, make sure that the heating has off long enough for the floor to cool (at least 24hrs) and don’t switch on until the Hardwax Oil has dried sufficiently.

Application

Stir tin(s) thoroughly before applying. Evenly apply the first coat with a good quality brush (Treatex brushes are available) or a short pile micro fibre roller. Leave to dry for 3-6 hours, allowing sufficient ventilation to the room will ensure a reliable drying time. Once dry, apply a second coat and leave to dry. The surface should be fine for careful use after 8 hours. Furniture can be place on floors after approximately 18 hours. Breathable covers e.g cardboard, rugs etc. should not be placed down for 72 hours, non-breathable, vapour proof coverings such as plastic sheeting should not be placed over the surface for at least 14 days.

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.
