Livos LINN 1703 Wood Oil for High Humidity Environments
IMPORTANT BEFORE STARTING APPLICATION
As our products are colored using natural pigments, there may be colour
variations between batches. Therefore, it’s essential to make a test on a
small surface before completing your project. Make sure the result matches
your expectation before proceeding.
Moreover, the wood preparation and it’s age may also influence colour
absorption, and final results may vary accordingly. We are not responsible for
the final colour obtained in the event no test were performed or if multiple
colored oils were blended.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DISTRIBUTOR AND THE MANUFACTURER IS LIMITED TO THE
VALUE OF THE PRODUCT. NEVER LET A COAT DRY WITHOUT REMOVING THE EXCESS OF OIL
OR POLISHING THE SURFACE.
WARNINGS
TO AVOID SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION RISKS, RAGS, POLISHING DISCS AND OIL
IMPREGNATED APPLICATOR PADS MUST BE PLACED IN A METALLIC SEALED CONTAINER OR
SUBMERGED IN WATER BEFORE THEIR DISPOSAL.
SANDING
This step is essential for good results. Perform progressive sanding using all successive grits from 100 to 150 for flooring and up to 180 for furniture.
OIL APPLICATION
-
1st COAT
Stir well with a stick to evenly mix the colour pigments in the oil. Apply the stain to a small area to confirm your colour choice. Apply a thin coat with a small lint-free cloth, cotton wick or an applicator pad. Let the surface absorb the oil for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then, remove the excess of oil from the surface with a lint-free cloth and make sure the coating is uniform. Wait a minimum of 12 hours before applying the 2nd coat. -
2nd COAT
Stir well with a stick to evenly mix the colour pigments in the oil. Apply the second coat using a ratio of 11ml/m2 (about a tablespoon/m2). Wait 10 to 15 minutes before removing the excess of oil or start polishing immediately (see the ADVICE SECTION). Wait a minimum of 24 hours before applying the 3rd coat. -
3rd COAT
Stir well with a stick to evenly mix the colour pigments in the oil. Apply the last coat using a ratio of 4ml/m2 (about a teaspoon/ m2). Wait 10 to 15 minutes before removing the excess of oil or start polishing immediately (see the ADVICE SECTION).
ADVICE
- For a silky finish, replace the wiping off process of the second and third coats with a polishing process. Apply a few drops of oil using the same ratio and start polishing immediately using a polisher or random orbital sander. Use a non-abrasive pad without grit. Do not wipe off afterwards.
- A light sanding with an 800 grit sandpaper between the first and second coats will produce a smoother surface, improve resistance, and provide a glossier finish.
NOTE: KUNOS 243 and 244 oils take approximately 30 days to dry thoroughly. Maximum endurance is reached after 4 weeks. Please take the necessary precautions during this time.
