Insider Tips:
- For a really tough finish suitable for wooden floors in shops and cafes consider adding Treatex Hardener to your Hardwax Oil.
- If Treatex Hardwax Oil is applied too thickly, drying time will be increased. To speed up drying time raise the room temperature and increase air flow by opening doors and windows, or using a fan.
- Apply with a good quality brush or with a high quality microfibre roller.
- Tightly wrap a plastic bag around wet rollers and brushes to stop them drying out between coats. NOTE: If you have added hardener, rollers and brushes will go hard even if they are wrapped in a plastic bag. Wet brushes and rollers can be cleaned using Treatex Hardwax Thinner.
