Preparation
Proper preparation is essential to ensure good penetration and a long-lasting finish.
- Ensure the surface is clean, smooth, dry, and free from wax, dust, and other contaminants.
- Remove any wax by scrubbing with White Spirit or Rustins Surface Cleaner using a scouring pad, then wipe away residues while still wet with clean rags.
- Remove any existing oil finishes using Rustins Strypit Paint and Varnish Stripper, then clean and allow the surface to dry fully.
- Bare wood may be dyed prior to coating using Rustins Wood Dye, if colour is required.
Application
Apply in suitable conditions to ensure proper penetration and an even, durable finish.
- Apply the oil liberally using a clean rag or brush and wipe off any surplus after a few minutes.
- The first coat should be applied liberally with a brush and allowed to dry without wiping off.
- Bare wood requires 3 coats for best protection and finish.
- Allow each coat to dry for 2–3 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
- Re-coat once the previous coat is fully dry.
- Some woods may require light sanding between coats to achieve a smooth finish.
- Nibs on the final coat may be removed by applying the oil with a scouring pad, rubbing in the direction of the grain, then wiping away surplus oil with clean rags or paper kitchen towels.
- Apply ideally between 15–25°C; do not apply below 10°C.
- Coverage is approximately 13 square metres per litre per coat, depending on the absorbency of the wood.
Clean the surface with white spirit, lightly sand to provide a key, and apply further coats as required to maintain the finish.
