Repair kit (pre-oiled floor)



Includes:
Impregnating oil (natural or colored)
Satin finishing oil

Instructions:
*If the scratches are only superficial and not in the wood, go directly to the steps for applying Impregnating oil and Satin finishing oil.

  1. When a scratch runs deeply into the wood, apply wood putty into the gouge with a putty knife, trying not to apply any outside the scratch. Wait until the putty dries.
  2. Lightly sand with 120-grain sandpaper to smooth the surface.
  3. Apply a thin coat of penetrating oil with the Impregnating oil marker (neutral or coloured) and wipe off the excess with a cloth. It’s better to apply too little and add if necessary to achieve the right stain. Let dry for six hours.
  4. Complete the repair by applying a thin coat of satin finishing oil with the Satin finishing oil marker using the same method as for the Impregnating oil marker. Let dry for several hours prior to light use of the floor.

*Note: Always follow the direction of the wood grain in carrying out these repair steps.

Recommendations: If you apply the Impregnating oil to the scratch and it doesn’t penetrate, take a humid (water) linen and rub to open the wood pores to help penetration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long-term restoration (pre-oiled floor)
 
In the areas where the floor must be restored, conduct a very light sanding using a 150 grit sandpaper. Use a pole sander to make the task easier. This step is not mandatory.

Light pressure of the sander on the floor is recommended. This action will have the effect of scuffing the surface of the floor, allowing new oil to be absorbed by the wood fibers. Follow the light sanding with a cleaning of all the areas to be restored with the Concentrated detergent (follow the written instructions on the label of the wood soap container).

Using the applicator spread a "thin" layer of the Satin finish oil on the areas that have been sanded. It is very important to spread the oil as thinly as possible, to prevent too much accumulation of oil on the surface. Let dry 24 hours before exposing the newly oiled surface to light traffic and 2 weeks before washing your floor. The renovating oil will have the effect of heightening the original color of your floor.

If the satin finish oil treatment has not been done in time and the color of the floor has been damaged, it will be necessary to redo the previous steps (sanding and cleaning) then apply a thin layer of impregnating oil the color of your floor. Let dry 24 hours, and then apply a thin layer of finishing oil. For commercial restoration, let dry 10 to 12 hours when using the renovating oil.
