FAQs
How much area can 500 ml of TopOil cover?
Coverage varies depending on the wood type and porosity, but typically 500 ml can cover approximately 10-12 square meters with one coat. Refer to the product label for more precise estimates.
Can I use this kit on a cutting board?
Yes, this kit is suitable for wooden cutting boards, provided they are properly cleaned and maintained. Ensure the oil is fully cured before using the board for food preparation.
How long does the oil take to cure?
The oil is touch-dry within a few hours, but full curing can take up to 7-14 days, during which time you should be gentle with the surface and avoid heavy cleaning or staining.
Do I need to sand between coats?
Generally, no sanding is required between coats of TopOil unless there are imperfections. Ensure the surface is clean and dust-free before applying subsequent coats.
What is the difference between TopOil and other wood finishes like varnish?
TopOil penetrates the wood to enhance its natural beauty and provide protection from within, offering a natural feel and matt appearance. Varnish typically forms a protective film on the surface, often resulting in a glossier finish.
How should I store the unused products?
Store the TopOil and Spray Cleaner in their original containers, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application
Ensure oil was applied thinly and evenly. Buff vigorously with the buffing fleece after drying to blend any inconsistencies. For severe streaks, you may need to lightly sand and reapply.
Wood still looks dry or is absorbing water
The surface may require additional coats of TopOil. Apply another thin coat and allow adequate drying time. Ensure the product is being applied to bare or previously oiled wood.
Cleaner leaves a residue
Use the Spray Cleaner sparingly and ensure you are wiping and buffing dry with a clean cloth after cleaning.
