Description

A finishing system for a fuller, whiter appearance from softwood AND hardwood surfaces. Extra white oil enhances the appearance.

Faxe Universal Lye is a surface application due to its wax and hardening components. The evenness of your application is important and determines the effectivness of the final finish.

Process Summary - Your floor must first be well sanded to grit 120 and filled if you wish. During stage 1 you will first apply to the floor an application of Faxe Universal Lye. This is brushed on as a even and thin coat, which soaks in to the wood. The wood needs to dry for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. In stage 2 you apply extra 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.
