BIO PRODUCT INFORMATION

Bio Red Oil

Description
This penetrating and finishing oil is designed to deepen and enhance the natural grain of timber. It gives a matt or satin finish and can be used on any interior wooden surface which is not subjected to heavy wear. Bio Red Oil contains a natural red plant dye which reddens the timber surface and is deepening the natural tone and colour. It can be used as a complete finish, or in conjunction with other Bio products (see below). This oil should not be used on alkaline surfaces, plaster, concrete or fibro-cement. If considering use on other materials (such as brick, ceramic or cork), test-strips should be made to assess suitability.

Preparation
Surfaces should be well-sanded, dry and cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO Thinner. Do not apply coatings to unseasoned or wet timber. Imperfect coats may require complete stripping before applying BIO Products. Round off sharp edges. It is also good practice to prime back surfaces. Hardwoods and other timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be degreased using BIO Thinner because these substances may mix with the oils and prolong its drying time.

Application
Brush, dip or spray BIO Oil working it well into the grain. Do not apply more oil than the surface can absorb. Maintain a wet edge when painting. Remove excess oil with a dry, lint free cloth after approx. 15-30 minutes. Test the absorbency of the surface before application: for very absorbent timber, work in small areas otherwise the oil might dry before you are able to wipe off the excess, causing an uneven patchy finish. Drying time 24 hours. Do not use when temperature is below +10C and/or the relative humidity is above 80%; e.g. cold damp conditions; when condensation, rain, dew or frost are likely to occur; on hot days; in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. Bio oil may penetrate timber pores more easily if warmed to 60 +C. For matt finish apply one coat, for satin finish apply three coats. Repair and refinish by applying additional coats. Provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Finishing
Bio oils can be used as complete finishes or they can be supplemented with: "BIO All Purpose Varnish" - "BIO Floor Varnish" - "BIO Antique Wax" - "BIO Japanese Seedlac" - only after the oil has thoroughly dried and cured.
