  • Preparation

    Sand the surface to smooth bare wood using 120 grit sandpaper. Ensure that any previous finish has been fully removed. Do NOT wash the surface with white spirit etc. or water after sanding. All sawdust should be removed with a hoover or tac cloth. Make sure the surface to be treated is thoroughly dry. Stir tins and ensure product is at room temperature before use. Enough Colour Tone should be purchased to complete the whole project and when more than one container is required it is advisable to mix them together before use.

    Application

    Stir tins thoroughly, before and during use. One coat of Colour Tone should brushed or rolled on in manageable areas and then the excess MUST be removed using either cloth/kitchen roll or a slow buffing machine with soft pad. If the excess isn’t properly removed, it may produce a patchy finish. Allow to dry - maintaining warmth and ventilation will enable the surface to dry within 3-6 hours. Once dry, seal with two coats of Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra Clear, which is available in Flat Matt, Matt, Satin or Gloss sheen levels. The top coats of Clear Hardwax Oil are applied to prevent the natural pigments in Colour Tones from wearing.

    • All of our Colour Tones can be mixed.

    • Treatex brushes and rollers are available. Alternatively, use a short gloss pile roller or good quality brush. Wet brushes and rollers can be cleaned using white spirit.

    • To speed up drying, raise room temperature and increase air flow by opening doors, windows and using a fan.
