Stone Oil

for the basic finish of untreated stone floors by hand or with machine

The Stone Oil has excellent penetration properties and therefore ensures a hard-wearing, dirt and water resistant surface. The Stone Oil enhances the natural structure of the floor. Stone Oil may be used indoors on all unfinished, open structured floors of stone, quarry tiles and marble.

Tools:
A polishing machine with beige polishing pad. Paintroller and cotton cloths. Clean tools in Solvent.

How to do...

An oil finishing with Stone Oil may be done either manually or by polishing machine. By stone surfaces of more than 15 m² it is recommended to use a polishing machine.

1. Clean with 125 ml Wood Cleaner mixed with 5 l water. The floor must be completely dry and free from dirt and grease before the oil application. The oiling is done at min. 18° C.

2. Shake oil container well before and during use. Apply the oil with a short-haired paintroller in an even coat onto approx. 5-10 m2 of floor. Leave the oil to be absorbed for 5-10 minutes. If dry spots appear, apply more oil.

3. Excess oil is carefully removed or scraped onto next section of floor to be finished. The area is now polished with beige polishing pad under doodle-bug or with floor machine until the area appears saturated. The floor should not appear wet and there should not be any excess oil left on the surface after polishing.

4. Continue in sections until the entire floor has been finished. After 6-8 hours the floor should be buffed with white polishing pad. If a silk-mat surface is required, the finished floor may be buffed with 100 ml Stone Oil to 20 m2 of floor.
This is done after the pre-hardening time and the oil must be polished carefully into the floor. Remove
any excess oil from the surface. After 12 hours the floor may be used with caution. The surface is fully hardened after 36-48 hours. Do not expose the floor to water during the hardening time.

Please notice:
Risk of self-ignition! Due to the risk of self-ignition it is important that sanding dust and oil wetted cloths are soaked in water and disposed of in a tightly closed container after use.
