Application

Shake product briefly before application.
Apply two coats of Kreidezeit Hard Oil, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second. The substrate may require sanding before applying the second coat.
The product must not be poured onto surfaces!

1. Initial sanding
Sand the wood, rounding the edges. Do not use a fine sandpaper as this will make the wood too dense and unable to absorb enough oil.
New, smooth, planed or finely pre-sanded wood should be rough sanded to ensure the oil can be absorbed.
Dust down thoroughly after sanding.

2. First coat
To ensure good penetration, it is recommended to dilute the product with at least 20% Balsamic Turpentine for the first coat on very dense, poorly absorbent and tannin-rich wood (such as oak).
a) Manual application:
Apply Kreidezeit Hard Oil evenly with a brush, short-pile roller, cloth or sponge. After 10-20 minutes, thoroughly wipe the entire treated area with a dry, lint-free cloth until the surface has a uniform satin appearance.
b) Machine application:
Apply Kreidezeit Hard Oil with a short-pile roller. After 10-20 minutes, thoroughly wipe the entire treated area with a soft pad until the surface has a uniform satin appearance. Change pad promptly once it becomes saturated.
Ensure that all un-absorbed oil has been completely removed, as otherwise shiny or sticky patches may remain. Kreidezeit Hard Oil must fully penetrate into the wood. It must not form a layer on the wood.

3. Re-sanding between coats (optional)
Re-sanding between coats is only required if the surface has dried rough, for example if wood fibres have dried proud of the surface. Use sand paper in the direction of the grain.
Dust down thoroughly after sanding.

4. Second coat:
Repeat as per the first coat.
Apply the product undiluted.

Coverage

Depending on the absorption of the substrate, approx. 0.05 to 0.08 litres per m² per coat.
