This occurs if too much oil was applied. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth dampened with a small amount of White Spirit to remove excess oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, the surface must be completely clean and dry before starting. If the wood was previously painted or stained, you must sand the surface down to the raw wood. Clean the area with White Spirit to remove any lingering grease or dust. Apply the oil liberally using a brush or cloth, ensuring it is rubbed deep into the wood grain. After application, always wipe away excess oil to prevent surface buildup. Between coats, allow 24 hours of drying time. Crucially, all cloths used during the application process must be washed immediately in soapy water and disposed of outside to mitigate the risk of spontaneous combustion.
