Color Oil
These oils contain fine pigments in twelve different colors, ranging from Black to Extra White. No staining is needed with Color Oil, as the color and finish is done in one single step, saving time on the jobsite. For custom colors, Color Oil may be mixed freely to create a color for every palate.
How to do step by step
1. Make sure that the floor or woodwork is freshly sanded and cleaned with Intensive Wood Cleaner. Ensure that the floor is completely dry before starting the application of the oil. Moisture in wood should not exceed 12% relative moisture content.
2. Shake the bottle and ensure that all pigments are evenly distributed in material before application.
Apply 1 litre of oil to 10 to 15 m2 of floor with a short haired paint roller or brush. Let the oil penetrate the wood grain for up to 10 min. and if dry spots appear, reapply oil. Now work the oil carefully into the wood grain with floor machine mounted with beige or red pad. For areas not exceeding 15 m2, polishing by hand with green pad is possible.
3. If not all oil could be worked into the wood grain, scrape the excess oil onto the next section of the floor or remove. Continue in this way till complete area has been coated.
4. Now buff the complete area with a white pad under floor machine or by hand.
5. After a 6 hour pre-drying of the area, buff the whole area again with white pad under the machine possibly with a small application of oil to ensure a perfect finish of the wood.
6. Leave the oiled area to dry for 24 hours. Do not expose the floor to water during drying time. After 12 hours, the floor may be used with caution. Cover walkways with corrugated paper.
7. Use Protego Wood Floor Soap mixed with water for regular cleaning. For later maintenance, apply Protego Hard Oil Wax, Maintenance Oil or Protego Maintenance Paste.
