What is Oil Plus 2C?
Oil Plus 2C is a high-quality, all-in-one wood finishing product designed to protect and enhance the natural beauty of wood surfaces. Unlike traditional wood finishes that require multiple layers, Oil Plus 2C achieves full protection and color in a single layer - making it a popular choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
The oil forms a molecular bond with the wood fibers on the surface to provide both protection and color in one layer. This eliminates overlap, while ensuring minimal consumption and long-lasting durability. It preserves the wood's natural appearance and fiber structure, all while being incredibly user-friendly - suitable for application on a wide range of wood types, and dries rapidly.
How to Apply
- Shake the Oil Plus 2C container well before use, or you can mix well with a stirring stick.
- Mix 3 parts Part A (the oil) to 1 part Part B (the accelerator).
- Using a beige scrubby pad, apply the oil on the wood surface. For larger surfaces, work in sections to ensure even coverage.
- After applying the oil, let it sit for 5 minutes to allow it to penetrate the wood fibers.
- Use a white scrubby pad or white wiping rag to remove any excess oil from the surface. The surface will be dry within 12-24 hours. It is important to handle the surface with care and avoid cleaning it until it is fully cured, which will take up to 5 days.
