Sorry for taking so long to reply. What happenend to our customer was that the floor scratched immediately and this was accentuated because he had applied it to a darker/harder timber. On the back of the Osmo Harwax Polyx tin it says " For dark hardwoods (such as Meranti, Jatoba or merbau...) u...

Sorry for the delay in replying, the results were that the floor showed up scratches immediately and had to be completely re-sanded and recoated (not with a hardwax oil). It does say in small print on the back of the OSMO Hardwax tin "For dark hardwoods (such as Meranti, Jatoba or Merbau...) us...

Hi Pasht

To stop the problem apply one coat of Smith & Rodger's MULTiSEAL. This is a white shellac based barrier seal that prevents everything coming through the topcoats.

If you have any questions, please just ask.

You can spray MDF with a cellulose primer. Standard colours are white and black which are available from Smith & Rodger Ltd or Becker Acroma.

The material is a single pack and can be sprayed straight from the tin.

The risk with just a quick clean and then varnishing over the top of an existing coating is that you may encounter a compatability problem. It's definitely worth trying to clean the surface (on a small inconspicuous area) and then apply 2 coats of a Waterbased Coating such as Aquacoat SP or Natural ...

If Hardwax Oil is the way you wish to proceed then apply first thin coat leave for 8-10 hours and then apply a second thin coat. After a further 8-10 hours the Hardwax can be buffed or polished with a hand polisher or polishing machine. Recommendation: Do not use Hardwax Oil on dark hardwoods such a...

Completely agree with Sandy Man, however Mega, Osmo and Carls Oil have a tendency of turning pale timbers slightly yellow over a period of time. To get around this I would recommend Aquacoat SP Matt, which will not alter the colour of the wood but will give you excellent protection and a very natura...
