Preparation and method of application are essential for great results:
Shake oil well before use. Keep container upright at all times
Ensure wood to be treated is dry, free from dirt and repellant coatings such as wax, paint and varnish (remove and sand down as required).
Wipe oily woods with White Spirit before application
Apply by brush or lint free cloth – after 10-15 minutes, remove excess oil with a lint free cloth
Clean equipment with Barrettine White Spirit
Precaution: cloths used for oiling may spontaneously combust. Immediately after use, soak them in soapy water then lay them flat outside on a non-combustible surface to dry
