HANDMADE APPLICATION
For a rapid apply one coat of GREENOL HD by spatula and, with a 60-min. break, a second coat, if required. After the first coat, the oil could seem not completely absorbed within the indicated time range; in this case, polish the surface with a buffer at low speed, using a green pad, before applying the second coat. Within 20-30 mins from the end of application, polish again with a green pad. Finally, after at least 60 min., polish, if necessary, with a white or yellow pad.
For a deep application apply one coat of PRIMOL (see the specific technical data sheet). Once dried, apply one coat of GREENOL HD by spatula according to the above instructions. In case of use of coloured PRIMOL, it is advisable to add it to GREENOL HDn a ratio of 5%.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
It is essential to apply thin coats (10-20 g/m² per coat) and to brush the boards or planks with natural fibre (such as tampico or sisal) polishing brushes right after each coating in order to help oil penetrate into the wood and to obtain the best drying. The use of a hot-air tunnel (50-55° C for 100-120 sec.), when available, speeds up the drying.
Warning! Both the oil quantity to be applied and the drying time depend on the wood species. The higher is its absorption capacity, the greater the quantity and the quicker the drying. As a general rule, to obtain a good level finish we recommend overall (through application of several coats) quantities of 40-60 g/m² for porous and very absorbing wood species and of 30- 50 g/m² for compact and not very absorbing ones.
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF OILED WOOD FLOORS
24 hours after the impregnating treatment, the floor can be walked on cautiously. 7-10 days later, it can undergo the usual wearing and the regular maintenance can start. During this lapse of time, avoid laying rugs or dragging heavy pieces of furniture.
For cleaning and normal maintenance we recommend Carver DETEROL wood soap. Optionally, to obtain more protection and sheen, you may use Carver DERGOS, water-based cleaner and protective with a low wax content.
For extraordinary maintenance and restoration of deteriorated places, first clean the floor thoroughly with DETEROL (to completely degrease you can use also Carver DETER PARQUET or NET PARQUET), then apply Carver CARSOL reconditioning oil (available in different versions).
NOTICE
Agitate the can before use!
In any application method used, it is essential that the oils are applied in thin coats, using the recommended quantities. When work is completed, the product must be completely absorbed by the wood.
A too abundant coating could cause drying problems, particularly in the parquet joining lines (heads and edges) and the wood knots, where excessive oil could accumulate.
Do not apply at temperatures below +15 °C. Allow the products to reach room temperature before application.
To avoid too rapid drying in summertime, it is advisable to thin the GREENOL HD oils by 10-15% with DILUENTE LINOLUX thinner. Do the same when spreading is difficult.
Soak used rags and cloths in water immediately after use to prevent spontaneous combustion.
Dispose of excess product and empty containers properly.
If the original unopened containers are stored in a cool and dry place, the products will keep for at least 12 month
