RMC Precolor Easy is an easy-to-apply pre-coloring product that must always be applied in combination with the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C and which allows the creation of special effects or contrasts, while ensuring the optimal molecular binding of the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C with wood.

Precolor Easy is a pre-treatment and does not protect the wood. For maximum protection, it should be combined with Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C.

Directions of use

Surface preparation

  • Sand the surface according to professional standards. Rubio Monocoat recommends sanding at grain 120 for floors and 120-150 for furniture. When renovating old floors, previous finish (varnish, oil, wax, etc.) must be completely eliminated.
  • Vacuum the floor and then clean it with RMC Cleaner or RMC WoodPrep.

Option 1: Manual application

  • Work in areas sized to allow manual touch-ups without having to tread the finished area. If necessary, use tape to tape off areas.
  • Mix the product well before use and at regular intervals during application with a stirring rod.
  • Apply RMC Precolor Easy using an applicator, a stain pad, a stain brush, a cotton rag or a mohair or microfiber roll.
  • Spread and wipe the product evenly using a lightly dampened lint-free cloth to remove all streaks. The product dries quickly, so work in sections on large surfaces.

Option 2: Mechanical application

Drying and application of oil

  • Allow the surface to dry for 1 to 3 hours. The exact drying time depends on the type of wood, humidity, temperature and ventilation. In doubt, let dry overnight before applying RMC Oil Plus 2C. Any overlaps after drying can be eliminated. See remarks below.
  • Apply RMC Oil Plus 2C. Consult the oil instructions for proper application.

Notes

  • Any overlapping can be removed by spraying the surface with clear water and polishing with a polisher or scrubby fitted with a red RMC Pad.
  • Any overlapping will not be removed when applying the oil. It is therefore important to remove any overlapping before applying the oil.
  • If any wood fibres are still upright, they must be lightly sanded by using a floor polisher with a beige pad. Then, vacuum thoroughly.

Advice

  • Switch off the underfloor heating 48 hours before application.
  • Do not use in combination with finishing products in aqueous phase.

FAQ

Can I apply a stain before a coat of Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C?

The manufacturer does not recommend using a product that may seal the wood before applying Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C. Rubio Monocoat recommends using their Precolor Easy product instead to achieve a different color from those offered in the colored Oil Plus 2C range. If you insist on using a water-based or oil-based stain, it is better to perform tests before starting the project.

How to obtain an intense color on maple before applying Rubio Monocoat's Oil Plus 2C?

The colored Oil Plus 2C from Rubio Monocoat has a low pigmentation when applied to light wood species such as maple, pine, cherry or beech. It is therefore recommended to use RMC Precolor Easy for a more intense coloration on these light woods.

However, it is important to note that Precolor Easy does not protect the wood, so a coat of Oil Plus 2C oil must be applied afterwards to ensure complete protection.

Mystic Brown stain

Abdula Essak · Jun 4, 2024

I was surprised how dark this stain was on the Maple wood I had. Best suggestion I had was to try this on a sample piece first. Also try different grit sand paper on your sample pieces before staining.
Overall good product. Just needs lots of prep time before actual use.
