4. Is GRAIN GUARD Hard Wax Oil suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Although it’s ideal for interior surfaces like flooring and furniture, it can also be used effectively on outdoor wood to protect against weathering and moisture.

5. How do I apply GRAIN GUARD Hard Wax Oil?

Step 1 – Preparation:

Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, absorbent, and free from dust, grease, or previous paint/wax residues.

Step 2 – Application:

Apply a thin, even layer using a brush or lint-free cloth. Allow it to dry for 20–30 minutes, then polish the surface with a clean, dry cloth until the desired finish is achieved.

Step 3 – Drying:

• Dust dry: ~2 hours
• Fully dry: ~24 hours

6. How much area does it cover?

Coverage is approximately 10–12m² per litre, depending on the wood type and porosity.

7. What finish will it leave on the wood?

GRAIN GUARD Hard Wax Oil provides a natural, satin-matte finish that enhances the grain and texture of the wood while leaving a subtle sheen—not a glossy or plastic-like look.

8. Can I apply multiple coats?

Yes. For best results and extra durability, especially on high-traffic areas like floors, apply a second thin coat after the first has fully dried (at least 24 hours).

9. How do I clean my tools after use?

Clean brushes first with turpentine, then wash with warm soapy water.

10. Are there any safety precautions I should follow?

Yes. Used rags may self-ignite due to oxidation. Always soak used cloths in water and seal them in aluminium foil or an airtight plastic bag before disposal.

11. How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry, frost-free area away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.

12. What sizes are available?

• 500ml – ideal for small furniture and projects
• 1 Litre – suitable for larger surfaces and flooring

13. How often should I reapply the oil?

For interior use, reapply as needed depending on wear—typically every 12–24 months. For exterior wood, seasonal reapplication is recommended for optimal protection.

14. Will it change the colour of the wood?

GRAIN GUARD Hard Wax Oil slightly deepens the natural tone of the wood, enriching its grain and colour while maintaining an authentic, natural appearance.

1. Before Application
The surface must be absorbent, clean, dry, free of dust and grease and load-bearing capacity. Remove old paint and waxes and ensure all residue is removed. Heavily weathered surfaces should be sanded before application.

2. Application
Apply the oil with a brush or cloth in a thin layer. When applying with a brush, allow to dry for 20-30 minutes and polish with a clean, dry cloth until the desired surface is achieved. Drying time is approximately 24 hours. Dust dry time in approximately 2 hours.

3. Cleaning & Storage
Brushes should be cleaned with turpentine and then clean, soapy water. WARNING: Used cloths may self-ignite and should be soaked in water and packed airtight in aluminium foil or in a plastic bag before discarding. Store out of direct sunlight in a dry, frost-free area.
