If the door oil finish remains for long after the suggested drying time, this is normally due to over-application. Very thin application and a wiping technique which removes the excess from an area and moving it onto the next untreated area is the best method to avoid over-saturation of the wood grain. It's this over-saturation which will lead to poor durability and extended drying times which will often remain tacky for days.
Please note: it's always best to check with the supplier of veneered or engineered doors to see what the recommended product is before the application of any product. This will quite often be found in the paperwork included with the door when it is new. Applying the wrong product to your doors could have disastrous consequences.
- For the best results, ensure that surfaces to be oiled are clean, dry and free of dirt, dust and grease.
- Previously oiled doors can just be lightly sanded with p120 sandpaper and wiped down with methylated spirit to remove all traces of sanding dust and degrease
- Any previous wax finishes should be completely removed with a suitable wax and polish remover
- Any previous paint, varnish or film-forming stains should be removed with a paint stripper and then sanded back to bare wood
- Lightly sand new or bare wood and remove all sanding dust with methylated spirit
- Fill any gaps and splits with a suitable filler
- Use a non-film forming wood stain if a colour change is required
Always try a test area before starting any project to assess compatibility of the final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
- Stir thoroughly before and during use
- Working in small sections at a time, apply Manns Premier Door Oil sparingly in the direction of the grain with a high quality synthetic bristle brush
- Wipe away any excess with a microfibre cloth as you go, the surface should not be overly tacky if applied correctly
- Lightly sand or de-nib between coats with P180 sandpaper or abrasive pad, such as Woodley's Finishing Pad (p180)
- Apply a second coat of door oil in the same manner as the first and allow to dry properly
When it's time for a refresh, simply apply a fresh coat of Manns Premier Door Oil as required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
General, day-to-day cleaning can be done with Manns Anti-Bacterial Cleaner Spray.
