Before you use the product:
- 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. 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. At the end of the job the product must be completely absorbed by the wood.
- Do not apply at temperatures below 15 °C. Allow the products to reach room temperature before application.
- Soak used rags and cloths in water immediately after use to prevent spontaneous combustion.
Handmade Application:
- Application can be made by roller, brush, metal spatula or pad (sponge, paper, cloth).
- After final sanding or screening, vacuum and tack the floor thoroughly, then apply Primol Plus (if you want to color your floor) or Greenol Plus, carefully spreading it as evenly as possible. If necessary, after 10-15 minutes remove excessive oil not absorbed by the wood with a cloth or a polyurethane foam rubber spatula (normally this is not necessary when the oil is applied by metal spatula).
- Within 20-30 minutes after application, before complete superficial drying, polish with a buffer at low speed, using a green pad, to make even the oil coat. After about 4 hrs, to remove any oil residue leaking out of the joining lines and the wood knots, it is advisable to polish again using a yellow or a white pad. In case of strong colours, apply the product uniformly by pad and omit polishing to avoid colouring damage.
-
20 - 24 hrs later, apply Greenol Plus finish according to the above described procedure and respecting the recommended coverage rate. Within 20-30 mins, brush with a green pad; after 3-4 hrs, in order to obtain a more uniform surface, polish using a white or a yellow pad.
-
Optionally, it’s possible to apply 2 coats of Greenol Plus without primer, allowing 24 hrs break between coats and following the above-described procedure.
-
For a swift cycle, apply one coat of Greenol Plus 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 white colour paving: it advisable to add 5% of Primol Plus white to Greenol Plus.
Use and Maintenance of Oiled wood floors:
- 24 hours after the impregnating treatment, the floor can be walked on cautiously.
- 7 -12 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 Deterol wood soap.
- Optionally or in combination, to obtain more protection and sheen, you may use Dergos, water-based cleaner and protective with a low wax content.
