SPECIAL NOTES:
a) This product is not fully ingredient-considerate
of wet-areas (bathroom/laundry etc.)
b) With ply-wood projects,
you are unlikely to achieve quality finishing unless
you conduct the final wax polishing advocated (1 coat oil,
left to dry, light sand, then 1 or 2 applications
of wax as instructed).
APPEARANCE:
Will result in a clear, light wet-look. As an indication, lightly
dampen raw wood with water to appreciate oil’s propensity
to amplify the inherent colours and woodgrain.
PATINA/SHINE:
With modest preparation and application effort you only achieve
a modest, MATT finish. Should you conduct finer preparatory sanding
and advised friction-on-application/buffing procedure, high SATIN
results are achievable.
STAINING:
This product is a penetrative, clear oil finish and should NOT
have other-brand pigments/colourants
added to it.
SIZES AVAILABLE:
500ml, 1 ltr, 4 ltr & 10 ltr cans. For

PREPARATION:
1. For best quality results on furniture/joinery,
further dry-sand through the grits to say 6-1200
(the finer the better!). Commencing grits are relevant
to original surface supplied.
2. Ensure timber surfaces
are clean and dry – remove sawdust,
metal filings etc. from on or near the
timber prior to oiling.
3. If access to rear/underside
surfaces are available prior to (or after) installation,
apply 1 coat to such areas to facilitate all-round
moisture protection (preparatory sanding of such
areas is not necessary).
APPLICATION:
1. Ensure you have read & understood aforementioned usage, notes and preparation advice
first. If skin-sensitive wear oil-impervious gloves.
Ensure good ventiliation.
2. Apply with brush or lambswool applicator 2
(two) coats only, & 24 hours
apart, (1 only when rejuvenating existing
oiled timber). Special note: It would also only be
1 (one) application of oil should you be intending to conduct
a Wax-Polishing final finish.
3. (OPTIONAL) For higher patina: with each application,
and prior to next step 4,
friction-rub oiled surfaces with white, synthetic pad/s
or high-grade 0000 steel
wool (be careful to only use French polishing grade wool,
if cannot procure don't utilise
sub-standard grades).
4. It is ESSENTIAL that
within ½ to 1 hour of EACH application
(and when rejuvenating) you firmly dry-cloth
off excess oil/residues to ensure a non-tacky,
non dust-collecting surface!
5. Power buffing with lambswool
pad (a further 24-48 hrs after last oiling)
would again contribute to patina.
6. Now leave finished project
to fully cure/air-dry for 5-7 days
(avoiding spills or use).
CLEAN UP:
Hot soapy water or Gum Turpentine.
MAINTENANCE:
To clean your oiled timber, or prior to re-application, wipe over
surfaces with solution of warm water and methylated spirits – use
with synthetic scourer for difficult to remove grime. Re-oil (ONE coat)
as necessary. If having wax finished do NOT oil again,
wax only.
WAXING:
Should you be seeking the pale satin and tactile response that
wax finishes deliver, we recommend the use of ORGANOIL’S Natural
Wax & Polish (as instructed), though allow minimum 14 days
curing/drying period of oil application to elapse.
BOTTOM LINE:
Given Olde Style DANISH OIL’S parameters
of internal use and low exposure stress, we cannot understand the
need for chemicals and synthetics. This product well-addresses
your
health
(chemical
exposure, indoor air quality etc.), the timber’s needs, and,
with a bit of input from yourself, warm patinas and quality, long-lasting
results. Finally, you are not excused from referring to can’s
instruction label for other storage, disposal, health and safety
considerations.
