I'm interested in a natural finish for my floors. I am renovating a 100 year old barn into a home for myself and my two children and want to keep it as natural as possible. I'm thinking of your hemp oil. Is it 100% hemp oil? Can it stand up to abuse from children? Thank you :-)
I would also be looking for a product that could be used on the pine tongue and groove I've done on the wall and ceiling, hopefully the same product.
Hemp oil is a possibility. Yes, it is 100% hemp oil without any additives. We do not usually recommend hemp oil as it is not very resistant. You would have to reapply frequently.
For a natural finish we would suggest using Tung Oil by Finico. The first two coats would have to be diluted 50/50 with Citrus Solvent. Then you would apply 2 – 3 more coats of the Tung Oil alone.
The Tung Oil can also be used on your walls and ceilings. 2 coats of the Tung oil diluted with the Citrus Solvent for the ceiling and for the walls, 1 coat diluted and 1 coat of Tung Oil alone.
The Tung oil needs to be diluted to penetrate wood better. By diluting in the two first coats there will be a better oil absorption and additional coats can be applied pure.
