A Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Application

Oli Natura Hardwax Oil is designed to protect and enhance interior timber surfaces while maintaining a natural appearance. Suitable for floors, furniture, parquetry, stairs, benchtops and joinery, it provides a durable, water-repellent finish that highlights the timber grain rather than masking it.

Below is a straightforward application guide to achieve consistent results.

Surface Preparation

Preparation determines the final result.

  • Sand timber evenly to the recommended grit (typically 120–150 for furniture, 100–120 for floors).
  • Remove all sanding dust thoroughly.
  • Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from contaminants.

Do not apply over old coatings unless they have been completely removed.

Apply Liberally

Stir the product thoroughly before use.

Apply a generous, even coat using:

  • A short-nap roller (floors)
  • A brush
  • A white pad applicator

The goal is to fully wet the surface so the timber can absorb the oil.

Work the Oil Into the Timber

After application, work the product into the surface using:

  • A white pad
  • A buffing machine (for floors)

This helps the timber absorb the oil evenly and improves penetration. Ensure all areas are evenly covered.

Allow the oil to sit briefly — just long enough for absorption. Do not allow it to skin or dry on the surface.

Buff Off Excess and Allow to Cure

Remove all excess oil using a clean, lint-free cloth or buffing pad.

No wet patches should remain. The surface should feel dry to the touch.

Allow to cure in accordance with the product data sheet.

Ensure adequate ventilation during drying.

Oli Natura Hardwax Oil is available in Natural/Clear and Natural/Clear Matte finishes. It carries ECARF Allergy-Friendly certification and is suitable for surfaces that may come into contact with food once fully cured.
