Antique

Preparation

Sand the wood surface professionally and clean it thoroughly. The surface must be dry and free of grease and dust. The wood moisture content should be 8–12%.

• Furniture: final sanding up to P180 maximum
• Floors: final sanding P120–150

The coarser the sanding, the more rustic the effect. The finer the sanding, the more uniform the appearance.

Application

1. Shake or stir well before use and apply undiluted.

2. Apply the reactive stain evenly in the direction of the grain using a brush, microfiber roller, or spray application. On larger surfaces, the wet stain can be evened out with a white or beige pad. Alternatively, smaller surfaces can be applied with a soaked sponge or cotton cloth and wiped afterward.

3. Allow the surface to dry completely. If required, a second coat can be applied after 30–45 minutes without intermediate sanding.

4. After 6–8 hours of drying, lightly smooth raised wood fibers with an abrasive fleece or P220–280 sandpaper. Then remove dust thoroughly.

5. Finally, treat the surface with an OLI-NATURA oil or hardwax oil.

Coverage

1–2 coats at approx. 60–80 ml/m² per coat (approx. 12–16 m²/l).

Drying

Depending on the temperature and humidity, a second coat can be applied after 30–45 minutes. Can be recoated with oil or hardwax oil after approx. 6–8 hours.

Tip

The intensity of the effect is significantly influenced by the tannin content of the wood, the application quantity, and the wood preparation. The wood must not be wetted before treatment, as this can wash out tannins and weaken the reaction.

Particularly suitable for brushed, textured, or rough-sawn oak surfaces. The shades Lye-Treated, Smoked, and Black Smoked can be mixed with one another.
