EN: Warning
The furniture has been pre-treated to be better protected against sun,
rain, stains and other wear and tear. However, we hope you can
protect your outdoor furniture from rain, sun, dirt, dust, pollen and
snow when not in use.
How to Re-Oil Furniture
Furniture finished with oil and wax will probably not need to be
re-oiled unless it becomes dry from being stored in extreme cold or
heat, or in constant direct sunlight or other drying conditions. If your
piece does become overly dry, follow the following instructions for
re-oiling.
1. Use turpentine or naptha applied with a clean cotton cloth to
remove the existing wax. Clean the surface with water and Soap,
using only as much liquid so as to make the cloth damp, not wet.
Allow the surface to dry completely.
2. Use super-fine grade #0000 steel wool to further prepare the
surface, using light, even pressure and always working with the wood
grain.
3. Apply a liberal amount of oil to the surface. We use a blend of 1/3
boiled linseed oil, 1/3 pure tung oil and 1/3 oil-based polyurethane
(Allow the oil to soak into the wood for about 10 to 15 minutes.)
4. Wipe off all excess oil using a clean cotton cloth. Allow the newly
oiled furniture to set for at least 24 hours.
5. To prepare for waxing, clean the surface with super-fine #0000
grade steel wool. Carefully wipe the surface clean with a soft cotton
cloth to remove all grit and residue.
6. If the wood still appears dry, you may re-apply oil and repeat the
steps 3 through 5.
Important safety note: Handle oily rags with caution, as there is a
risk of spontaneous combustion if they are stored improperly. Be sure
to spread oily rags flat and allow them to dry completely, after which
they can be discarded or washed.
