Basic steps for using WOCA oil with pigment
Before starting oiling, shake the oil can well.
After opening the package with the oil, mix it well again – this way you will avoid uneven color streaks.
Oil a board or two at a time, evenly along the entire length, so that there are no uneven color transitions.
Rub the oil well with a cloth and wipe off the excess. We recommend wiping off excess oil within 5 minutes.
Allow the oil to dry for at least a day so that it is best absorbed into the pores of the wood.
It is important to mention what should not be done when oiling the boards – you should not oil the decking boards when they are damp or in direct heat. Since the oil works at the level of the pores of the wood, it is very important that it penetrates well into the pores of the selected boards.
Instructions for oiling the terrace: a few tips from the master
When oiling the terrace, cover the bottom of the walls with paper tape. In this way, you will oil the surface much better, you will not have to clean the walls if you accidentally apply oil.
If you can, oil the sides of the decking boards before installing the decking – it will make it easier to oil the rest of the decking later.
Sponge, brush or special applicator?
When oiling the terrace, several methods of covering it are possible.
The sponge is chosen by those who like careful work – when applying oil with a sponge, there will be no excess oil.
A brush is the most popular tool for oiling the terrace. It is convenient because it can be used when the stem is connected. When oiling with a brush, it is convenient to apply the gaps and reach the edges.
A special applicator with a sponge is the fastest way to coat decking boards with oil. It is the easiest to work with when renovating the terrace. It is important to carefully remove excess oil when using the applicator, so that you do not multiply the oil and it does not run into the gaps. The oiling applicator also has an additional shaft for extension, so it is convenient to work while standing.
