Mylands Woodfinishing Oil is a general all-purpose oil for all internal wood applications. It combines the hard wearing properties of Tung Oil with other quality oil resins. The oil gives a tough, hard-wearing finish which has good water, heat and alcohol resistance making it suitable for all interior woodwork. The oil is especially suited for kitchen and bathroom worktops, tables and other furniture which is in constant use. It may also be used on turned items. Additionally, the oil may also be used on exterior woodwork (teak).
Application
Always test Woodfinishing Oil on an off-cut of timber or an inconspicuous area of furniture to check colour and finish is as desired before oiling the whole article. Mylands Woodfinishing Oil may be used on new or previously finished timber. For previously finished timber: Remove the old finish with paint and varnish remover. Old oiled or waxed surfaces should be cleaned with Mylands Special De-waxing Solution or slightly abraded with fine abrasive paper or steel wool. The following stains are suitable under Woodfinishing Oil: Light Fast Stains, Rich Light Fast Stains, Non Fade Ground Stains, Water Based Stains. Stains must be fully dry before application of the Woodfinishing Oil. Apply a thin first coat of Woodfinishing Oil with a clean pad of white lint-free cotton cloth and leave to dry overnight. Then cut back lightly with 320 grit finishing paper or 0000 grade wire wool (for best results, use the paper first and then the wire wool) to achieve a flat surface for subsequent coats. Apply further coats in similar manner to give build and finish required. At least 3 -4 coats should be used on worktops to give adequate protection. If required, on decorative furniture the oiled finish may be over-waxed, but a curing time of 7 days should be allowed prior to this.
