Product Description

FAXE Universal Lye - Usage Instructions

Effective against yellowing of all wooden floors and wooden surfaces

FAXE Universal Lye gives untreated wood a light, even, white-scoured surface finish with visible wood grain. FAXE Universal Lye can be applied to all types of wood, preferably light types of wood.

Where to use:

For untreated wood floorings, panels and interior, made of pine, spruce, douglas fir, pitch pine and hardwood in general. The colour tone on hardwood will vary depending on the species.

Preparation:

The wood must be sanded down, with a fine grain pad or disc, clean and dry. Remove stubborn dirt using FAXE Intensive Cleaner. When working with lye, always wear suitable gloves and protective goggles.

Application:

Apply the undiluted lye evenly, with the grain, using a brush or lambswool lye applicator. Smooth out overlaps, as long as the wood is still wet. For a particularly intensive effect, repeat the process after the first coat has dried.

When the wood has dried, smooth the surface of the wood using a fine sanding pad or disc.

After Care:

The finish should be applied in to suit the planned usage: FAXE Wooden Floor Oil or FAXE Prestige Oil for particularly high-quality wooden floors, FAXE Wooden Floor Soap for robust and natural Scandinavian-style softwood floors and FAXE Tabletop Oil for table tops and worktops.

Technical data:

Cleaning: Clean tools with water.

pH value: 9-10.

Storage: Not less than +5°C.

Water, titanium dioxide, vegetable oil, natural wax, borax, sodium hydroxide < 0,5 %.

Empty the complete contents of the container into a plastic vessel, stir thoroughly before and during use. Several containers containing identical products should be mixed together. The finished result depends, amongst other things, on the preparatory treatment, structure and natural colour of the substrate. For this reason, try out first on a sample area.
