What shades are available?

The raw wood effect lacquer is colorless, contains no pigments, and preserves the natural character of the wood. It dries to an ultra-matte, raw wood-like finish.

What container sizes is it available in?

In 1 l, 5 l, and 10 l. Optionally also as a 2K system with OLI-AQUA Hardener 13.2.

What surfaces is the lacquer suitable for?

For wood and wood-based materials indoors, especially light-colored wood species. Typical applications: furniture, doors, stairs, panels, shopfitting, and exhibition stand construction.

Does the substrate need to be prepared?

Yes. Wood should be sanded with P150–180 grit, followed by intermediate sanding with P220–280 after the first coat. The surface must be dry, clean, and free of dust and grease.

Can I also use the lacquer on dark wood?

Yes, the lacquer can also be used on dark wood. It produces very little darkening, especially on walnut. However, since the raw wood effect was specifically developed for light-colored wood species, a test application is recommended in all cases - especially on exotic woods.

How many coats are required?

Generally, two coats. For spray application: base coat approx. 100 g/m², intermediate sanding, then top coat approx. 100 g/m². For brush application: apply the first coat evenly, intermediate sanding after 90 minutes, then apply the second coat at 80–100 g/m².

Does the lacquer need to be stirred?

Yes, stir thoroughly before application. Reseal the container tightly after use to prevent skin formation.

Can I spray or thin the lacquer?
