The number in the name refers to the solids content of the product. The inspiration behind this range of oils is that there are three steps towards an attractive and long lasting oiled wood floor. For use in areas under 70Msquared. Information Achieves the unique appearance of an oiled floor in one day Apply using a Bona Oil Applicator Correct basic treatment where the pores of the wood are thoroughly saturated Correct and regular periodic maintenance Correct and regular cleaning Carl’s 90 and 45 provide a matt, natural appearance while enhancing the natural variation within the timber. Carl’s Hardwax Oil gives a shinier surface with wax protection. As Carl’s Oils can have varying effects, depending on the timber species, we would recommend that samples are prepared prior to treating a floor.Carl’s 90 is a hardening oil containing less that 10% solvents, intended for the surface treatment of untreated wood floors exposed to normal or heavy wear. Due to its quick drying, the floor may be completed within one working day. As subsequent coats must be applied before the previous has dried we recommend Carl’s 90 for areas up to 70m squared. Enhances natural beauty of the timber Dry solids 90% Easy to apply Dries quickly Ready in day Practically no bleed back Excellent coverage rate Suitable for areas up to 70m squared Waiting times between coats: 20 minutesCoverage: Approximately 10-12m squared per litre depending upon timber species Note: Carl’s 90 must be applied using a solvent-resistant rubber applicator Apply the oil evenly and thinly. Start at the furthest end of the room and work towards the door. Allow the oil to oak in for about 20 minutes. Do not allow the oil to dry. Repeat the treatment until the surface is saturated i.e. until the wood will not absord any further oil. The number of treatments required will depend upon the type of wood but 2 - 3 treatments are normally enough. However, no more than approximately 0.1 litre of oil per M squared should be applied. 20 Minutes after the final application, the surplus oil should be buffed in alternate directions using a buffing machine (150rpm) and a Bona Oil pad. Immediately after buffing, any remaining surplus should be removed with a cotton oil cloth placed under the machine. Edges and corners should be dried by hand using a cotton cloth. The floor should be allowed time to dry. Best results are achieved if the floor is allowed to dry over night but it may be buffed after just 6 hours if necessary. During this time, foot traffic should be avoided. Buff the floor with a buffing machine (300rpm if possible) and a red pad. Then buff the floor with a dry cotton oil cloth under the pad. If the floor looks patchy, add a small amount fo oil to the cloth, place under the machine and buff the floor. One hour later, buff again. Continue this process to increase the sheen of the surface. To give the oil time to cure, the floor should be allowed to dry for 24 hours without any foot traffic. Key points The bona oil applicator must be used for applying the oil An oil pad and oil cloth is essential for effective treatment of a floor A floor buffing machine (preferably two speeds) is required for the oil treatment Refer to Carl's Oil sitework Info for detsils as to the full oil treatment and maintenance information Used cloths and rags should be placed in water or a closed container because of the risk of spontaneous combustion Waiting time between applications is approximately 20 minutes infor@realoakfloors.co.uk, (Real Oak Floors) http://realoakfloors.co.uk/bona_carl_90_flooring_oil.php Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:01:58 +0100 http://realoakfloors.co.uk/bona_carls_45_flooring_oil.php Bona Carl's 45 Flooring Oil The Carl’s Oil range of flooring oils are based on natural Pine oil, the number in the name refers to the solids content of the product.
