A great prime coat to lay the foundation for and enhance the results of other products such as Bioshield's Furniture & Floor Hardwax. Primer Oil #1 is a sealer that creates an elastic and breathable grain-enhancing prime coat. It is equally functional in sealing and priming hardwoods and more absorbent softwoods.
Application: Penetrating oils are best applied by pad applicators or brush, but the materials being finished can also be sprayed or dipped. Surfaces should be sound, dust free, and free of contaminants such as mildew, oil, and grease. The maximum moisture content for softwoods should not exceed 18 percent and hardwoods should not exceed 12 percent moisture.Very resinous woods such as teak must be cleaned with BioShield Citrus Thinner, and other exotic woods should be wiped with an alcohol thinner (ethanol). Generally speaking, the best results are obtained by applying oils with a professional quality natural bristle brush. After allowing the oil to penetrate for approximately 25 minutes, the surface is buffed with a soft, absorbent, lint-free cotton cloth, and the process is repeated 24 hours later.
Coverage: Approximately 100 to 150 square feet per liter depending the rate of absorbency and the surface texture.
