DC001 and DC017 Kit samples, Prepare Woca Softwood Lye, Oil finish Woca white Master Colour Oil

Product Description

Description

A finishing system for softwood floors that combines the caustic lye to remove yellow tones from the wood with a standard white Master Colour Oil finish for the classic Danish, pale appearance.

Even after finishing the floor will continue to colour into a white grey since the lye causes the wood polymers to go lighter not darker, as one might expect when exposed to light and air. Standard white oil contains 5% of pigmentation as well as all the protective resins & hardeners needed for a well protected floor. Further colouring and wear repair comes from choosing to clean with white pigmented Woca Natural Soap.

Process Summary - Your floor must first be well sanded to grit 120 and filled if you wish. During stage 1 you will first saturate the floor with an application of Softwood Lye. This is followed soon after by a damp clean with Wood Cleaner to remove residue of the Lye. The wood needs to dry for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. In stage 2 you apply white oil to the floor and buff-in the bulk of the protective oil resins as well as more white pigments into the surface. You must remove excess oil with cloths so that the surface is damp not wet with oil. Stage 3 is a repetition of the oiling process. An oiled floor is better for two applications. Subsequent cleaning is made using a solution of Natural Soap, White. The white pigments in the soap will further build the whiteness of the floor at the same time as the soap cleans. Should your floor become very soiled in the future then consider the instructions for Maintaining an Oiled Floor, but otherwise the regular cleaning with soap should be enough to maintain the floor.

Do not used Softwood Lye on Douglas Fir.
