Firstly, ensure that all areas to be coated are well ventilated before, during and after application. Ensure the surface is smooth, clean and free from any contamination or sanding dust. Always test the stain on a small area prior to application on the whole area to be coated to ensure the colour is as desired. Apply the Earth Stain with a rag or brush and remove excess with a clean cloth within a few minutes of application.

Maintenance

Clean oiled surfaces with a damp cloth. For more soiled surfaces a small amount of liquid detergent may be added to the water. Old or worn oiled surfaces may be refurbished by abrading the surface and applying further coats of Danish Oil as in Application above. Exterior timber will require re-oiling at least annually – horizontal surfaceexposed areas may require more frequent re-coating.

Cleaning

Wash brushes/rollers immediately after use, in warm water containing a little detergent.
