How to prepare new or bare timber/cork:

1. Punch exposed nails below the surface. If you have any holes and imperfections, they should be filled with timber putty after the first coat of Tung Oil Blend. This helps to match the putty colour with the coated timber colour.

2. Sand timber to an even, smooth surface. Remember to vacuum or wipe to remove sanding dust.

How to prepare previously coated surfaces:

1. Clean surface with Feast Watson Floor Clean and allow to dry.

2. If you have previous polyurethane coatings or varnishes, this needs to be removed by sanding the surface back to bare timber.

1. Ensure your surface is dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, wax, polish and oil.

2. Begin by stirring Tung Oil Blend well before with a flat blade stirrer, taking care not to introduce any bubbles.

3. Apply a generous coat of Tung Oil Blend to the timber with a brush, roller, cloth or Feast Watson Floor Finish Applicator. Make sure your surface is completely covered - don't want to miss a spot!

4. Go read a book and leave the Tung Oil Blend to soak into timber for approximately 60 minutes.

5. Wipe off any excess product with a clean cloth.

6. First coat is dry? Great - move on to applying a second coat. You only need to apply two coats of Tung Oil Blend.

7. When applying Tung Oil Blend to floors, to reduce the full cure time, buff the floor after the final coat using a buffing machine (300 revs/minute). Allow 24 hours before buffing.

Note: Buffing will not change the sheen

You're done! Good job on a perfect application.

Stain bare timber after sanding using Prooftint as per the application instructions.

1. Apply one coat of Tung Oil Blend to seal soft, porous timbers such as pine. This ensures your timber will absorb the stain and produces maximum results!

2. Ready to stain? Mix Prooftint with Prooftint Colour Reducer to allow time to evenly work the stain across the floor.

3. Double check that you love your colour by testing the colour mix on off-cuts of flooring, to ensure it is right for you.

4. Apply stain to the floor with a Floor Finish Applicator as per Prooftint instructions. Make sure you allow 12 hours to dry before applying Tung Oil Blend.

Do not pour leftover product down the drain.

Brush leftover product onto newspaper, and allowed to completely dry, before disposing of via general waste collection.

Empty containers should be left open in a well-ventilated area to dry out. When dry, recycle the container through steel can recycle programs such as Paintback.
