Preparation
Interior woodwork

• Ensure the surface is bare

• Clean, dry and ensure the surface is dust free
• If required stain the wood with Palette Wood Dye before oiling

Exterior woodwork

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from decaying timber
• Surface greying or mould should also be removed as this may cause blackening of the timber

Application
Interior woodwork

• Apply with a brush or lint-free cotton cloth and allow to penetrate for five to 10 minutes before wiping off excess with a clean lint-free cloth
• Allow to dry for a minimum of five hours and apply more coats as required
• We recommend a minimum of three coats
• For best results gently rub with Ultra Fine Steel Wool (Grade 0000) between coats
• In damp areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms, more coats will be required to ensure adequate protection

Exterior woodwork

• Apply as above
• Application of four coats will give minimum protection
• Exposed areas will require more coats
• It is important to ensure sufficient coats of oil are applied initially to give maximum protection
• It is not necessary to remove excess on sawn timber, but wipe off any runs

Important

• Oil finishes bring out the natural colours of timber
• A wet surface will be an indication of the final colour
• Always test the product on spare surface of inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result

Cleaning and maintenance
Interior woodwork

• Surfaces may be cleaned using a damp cloth and spills should be wiped up immediately
• For stubborn stains a mild detergent can be used
• Surfaces need to be re-oiled once a year or more, depending upon usage

Exterior woodwork

• Clean off any surface grime, moulds, etc., (sand if required) before re-oiling
• Exterior timbers need to be maintained on a regular basis, at least twice a year

Precautions

• Superior Danish Oil may darken some timbers and blackening may occur on some external timbers

• Store Superior Danish Oil at a temperature above 5°C
• Always replace the lid otherwise the oil can deteriorate
• Oily cloths can self-combust
• Do not leave impregnated cloths in bundles
• Before discarding the cloths lay them flat outside to dry to avoid a fire hazard.
• Superior Danish Oil is not suitable for use on external oak
• Pure Tung Oil is recommended for this purpose
• If the excess is not removed and the surface becomes sticky, wipe with white spirit to remove the sticky film and allow to dry before continuing
