Instructions for use
Always remember to test on a less visible spot to check the compatibility of the surface with the product.
Clean new wood surfaces as well as old surfaces with Exterior Wood Cleaner before starting the oil treatment.
Then leave the wood to dry for at least 24 hours so that the humidity is not above 17%. Sand down any rough wood fibres with sandpaper,120-150 .
Make the application in dry weather only, min. 13°C. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures.
Stir the Oil carefully before and during use. Container with different batch numbers should be mixed before use to avoid differences in shade and gloss.
Apply an even and thin coat of oil with a brush or WOCA Oil Applicator. Treat the end grain wood first. The wet oil may have a white shade. When the water has evaporated after a few minutes, the wood will appear oiled.
Wipe off any excess oil with clean cotton cloth after no more than 5 minutes. Take particular care of removing excess oil from joints and grooves.
If the surface does not appear saturated with oil, repeat steps 5 and 6.
When the wood is dry, it may be polished with a polishing pad or polishing machine to ensure an extra hard-wearing surface.
It takes 24-48 hours at 20°C for the oil to harden thoroughly, depending on weather conditions and outdoor temperature. The wood must not be exposed to water during this period.
Please use WOCA Exterior Wood primer on wood that has not been pressure-impregnated. When applied around swimming pools and in areas where chemical is used, it may be necessary to re-oil more frequently.
