Instructions for Use:
The unfinished woodwork must be clean, dry and finely sanded (grit 100-120) before applying the lye. Test in an inconspicuous area to check the compatibility of the surface with the product and to ensure desired outcome. Shake the container well and pour the lye into a plastic bucket. It is important that no pigments are left in the container. Stir regularly during the application to prevent the pigments from settling to the bottom. Apply an even coat of the lye with the WOCA Applicator, a nylon brush or roller lengthwise along the grain. Apply at least 1 L of lye per 110 sq. ft. of wood. Leave wood to dry for approx. 8-12 hours at 68°F. De-nib standing fibres and remove excess pigments with a medium e.g. green or maroon machine pad. Remove the sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner. Finish the wood surface with a WOCA floor oil.
Softwood Lye can assume a greenish colour which will disappear in the course of time.
