Suitable substrates

Untreated or previously oiled wood in the stated area of application. Not on varnished or foil-laminated surfaces. A test area is recommended.

Application & Processing

Preparation: Clean the wood and remove dust; initial sanding with P 80–120 grit (no finer, otherwise the wood will absorb too little oil). Shake the container before use and apply undiluted (for dense or tannin-rich woods, dilute the 1st coat with approx. 10 % balsamic turpentine oil).

1st coat: Apply thinly and evenly, leave to soak in for 10–20 minutes, then remove all oil that has not been absorbed with a lint-free cloth until the surface has an even silk-matt finish.

Intermediate sanding: Only if the surface has dried rough (grit P 100–120 in the direction of the grain), then remove the dust.

2nd coat: As for the first coat.

Tools & cleaning: Varnish brushes, wide wall brushes, cotton cloths, short-pile rollers. Clean tools immediately with gum turpentine, then with Oliven Pflegeseife or Korfu Seife.

Frequently asked questions

When do I re-treat with Pflegeöl?
As soon as a weathered stand oil paint or glaze surface looks matt and faded. Checking once or twice a year is sufficient.

Does care oil replace a renovation coat?
It postpones it considerably. Regular maintenance keeps the protective surface functional, so a new coloured coat is not needed for a long time.

On which surfaces?
On KREIDEZEIT stand oil paint and coloured wood glaze for exterior use – not as a first coat on bare wood.

How do I apply it?
Apply thinly to the cleaned, dry surface, allow to soak in and wipe off any excess.
