Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed before application. Apply thinly and evenly, working along the wood grain. Avoid applying too much product in one area.
Slow drying time
Ensure proper ventilation and maintain the recommended application temperature of +5 °C or higher. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this can impede drying.
Surface feels sticky after drying
This usually indicates an over-application or insufficient drying time. Ensure thin coats were applied and the recommended drying period has passed. If minor stickiness persists, a light sanding may be required, followed by a very thin coat of clear Polyx-Oil.
Wood grain is not visible enough
This product is designed to enhance the grain. If a more pronounced grain is desired, consider a lighter tint or ensure the wood is adequately prepared and the oil is applied thinly.
