Hard Wax Oil

The substrate must be clean, dry, free of dust, grease and loose substances, and prepared in the correct manner.

Wood moisture content: 8-12%

On areas subject to foot traffic, the sandpaper grit used for final sanding should be no finer than P100-120.

For furniture surfaces and similar objects, the sandpaper grit used for final sanding should be no finer than P180.

Thoroughly remove any dirt, grease and non-adhering old coatings.

Wash off greasy and resin-rich wood with thinner and brush cleaner.

If you wish to add colour, prime with Decorative Wax Stain or OB-008.

Stir well.

Apply thinly using a surface brush or roller.

Remove any excess material after approx. 20-30 minutes.

Use cotton rags/cloths on items of furniture.

On larger surfaces, a single disc machine with a white polishing pad can be used.

After leaving to dry overnight, apply a second coat without sanding in between coats.

Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.

Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.

Before coating technically modified woods and wood-based materials, apply the product to a trial surface and conduct a suitability test on the desired area of use.

Ensure thorough ventilation during processing and drying.

When sanding wooden surfaces that have been treated with the product, always wear respiratory protection (dust filter mask P2).

Risk of spontaneous ignition (DGUV Information 209-046).
Do not use in the same workplace as NC-based varnishes or stains. Collect contaminated textiles (e.g. cleaning cloths, work clothing, dust bags) in fireproof waste containers and dispose of in a fireproof manner (under water).

Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

Drying is dependent on the type of wood and the absorbency of the substrate.

Drying time is delayed by excess material on non-absorbent areas, as well as by low temperatures and/or high humidity.

Ready to use

Brush with natural bristles, flat brush, velour roller, wadded rags/lint-free cotton cloth, rotary disc machine with white polishing pad

Clean tools immediately after use with thinner and brush cleaner.

Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

10 - 50 ml/m² per coat
The application rate depends greatly on the absorbency of the wood and the final sanded finish.

DIN EN 71-3 "Migration of certain elements":

This product complies with the limits for the migration of heavy metals to children's toys according to DIN EN 71-3 and thus fulfils one of several further requirements for the safety of children's toys according to the EU "Toy Directive" (2009/48/EC).

Oil-based products contain natural ingredients. Under the influence of UV light, light exclusion (dark yellowing), heat or individual wood changes, these can lead to a change in the surface. This requires special surface care, please refer to the leaflet on general application instructions for oils and waxes. If these changes are not desired, a stained and lightfast lacquered surface design is recommended.

Dust and loose dirt on floors and stairs should be removed regularly using a soft broom or mop.

For complete care and maintenance, we recommend the use of care products for oiled wooden surfaces. Follow the instructions provided by the care product manufacturer.

In the event of maintenance, treat the cleaned surface in such a way that it blends in to produce a uniform finish.

Remove water marks or stains on furniture with steel wool (grade 000) and apply a thin layer of the product.

Observe the "Care instructions for surfaces and floors treated with oil or hard wax sealers".

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
