Recipe: Glaze on Wooden Floor with Hard Dry Oil

Oil paint is suitable for almost all indigenous wood species (except for highly resinous larch wood). Application on exotic wood can be problematic, because it can contain substances that may prevent the drying of the oil. In this case, we recommend pretests prior to the application! The new paint coat should to be protected from rain and dew for at least one week after the application. For the first three days (and nights), the temperature should not be below +12 °C (= 53.60 °F)! We recommend, the use of siccatives/desiccants for external application.

Processing

For priming the wooden surface, mix 1 part Hard Drying Oil (#79021) and 1 part Pine Turpentine (#70010). Apply half-oil thickly and richly onto the raw wooden surface. Gently sand with sandpaper (granulation 150) when dry. Consumption rate is about 100 ml/m². Step 1#260: For priming the wooden surface, mix 1 part Hard Drying Oil (#79021) and 1 part Pine Turpentine (#70010). Apply half-oil thickly and richly onto the raw wooden surface. Gently sand with sandpaper (granulation 150) when dry. Consumption rate is about 100 ml/m².
For the first coat, dilute Hard Drying Oil with a maximum of 10 % Pine Turpentine, and add pigments to the glaze as desired. Gently sand with fine sandpaper (granulation 220) when dry. Consumption rate is about 50-70 ml/m². Step 2#224: For the first coat, dilute Hard Drying Oil with a maximum of 10 % Pine Turpentine, and add pigments to the glaze as desired. Gently sand with fine sandpaper (granulation 220) when dry. Consumption rate is about 50-70 ml/m².
For the final coat, dilute the hard dry oil with a maximum of 5 % Pine Turpentine. Consumption rate is about 50-70 ml/m². Step 3#122: For the final coat, dilute the hard dry oil with a maximum of 5 % Pine Turpentine. Consumption rate is about 50-70 ml/m².
Please respect the following waiting times when applying oil color: The prime coat requires 1 day drying time. All following layers require 2 days drying time. Step 4#160: Please respect the following waiting times when applying oil color: The prime coat requires 1 day drying time. All following layers require 2 days drying time.

Ingredients

17,8 l Harddrying Oil Kremer Gloss (#79021)
6,2 l Pine Turpentine (#70010)
pigment suitable for oil painting

Note

For a thicker wear layer, you can repeat the final coat, but do not forget to gently sand the surface with fine sandpaper (granulation 220) in between coats. The consumption information and recipes given above contain circa measures. Consumption may vary on different surfaces and depending on coat thickness and the oil paint used! Products containing linseed oil and oil contaminated cloths dry by oxidation, which is an exothermic reaction that accelerates as the temperature of the oily substances/textiles increases. This is why we recommend that all oil contaminated cloths and rags etc. be kept in closed metal buckets. Dispose carefully.

We assume no liability for the processing instructions described above. In any case, we recommend the production and evaluation of sample surfaces.
