Surface Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from any previous finish. Sand the substrate with a fine 150 grade sanding paper or 150 grit sanding disk, removing all traces of dust. Do not sand any finer than 150 as this will reduce the absorption of the oil, we strongly advise always applying a test area first as the final appearance will depend significantly on the timber it is being applied to.

The Application of Fiddes Clear Hard Wax Oil:
No primer is required. Ensure all areas to be coated are extremely well ventilated both during and after application and always test on a small area prior to initial application.  A maximum of 2 coats is recommended with the clear version. Apply at room temperature. Fiddes Hard Wax Oil is formulated for application directly, and does not require thinning.

For the first coat stir the Fiddes Hard Wax oil thoroughly before and during use, avoid applying at temperatures below 10°C. The area should be well ventilated both during application and during the drying period. Apply thinly using a Fiddes Floor oil brush or a good quality bristle or synthetic brush designed for the application of oils, laying evenly along the grain and ensuring any excess is removed within 10 minutes of application. Leave to dry for a minimum of 4 -6 hours or preferrably overnight before applying the second coat.

Apply as the first coat, thinly and allowing good ventilation. Again leave to dry for a minimum of 4-6 hours in warm, dry well ventilated conditions, or preferably overnight before light foot traffic, but please note that the surface will continue to harden and become tougher over the next 5-7 days. Clean applicator with White Spirit. When the surface area is completely dry, a light buff will further enhance the sheen level.

Surface Renovation:
To renovate a previous application of Fiddes Hard Wax Oil, lightly sand area with 150 grit sandpaper, and re-apply sparingly.

Coverage for Fiddes Clear Hard Wax Oil:
A single application will cover approximately 20-24 m² per litre, coverage can vary significantly depending on the density and condition of the substrate.

Product Availability:
250ml, 1 litre, 2.5litres

Range of  Finishes:
Clear Satin, Clear Matt, Clear Semi Gloss, Clear Dead Matt

Nb. Always apply to a test area first and check the colour before use, ensure the contents are stirred thoroughly before and during application.

Maintenance of Fiddes Treated Surfaces:
Damp mop (NOT wet) or lightly spray your Fiddes treated surface regularly with Fiddes Floor Surface or Wood Surface Cleaner. For areas subject to high wear or to remove stubborn stains areas can be treated with Fiddes Floor Wax which when buffed will also give an increased depth of sheen. If the surface requires a renovation coat please see the instructions above.

Ordered clear matt. Says clear matt on the tin. Dried like stain. Ruined the look I was looking for. Interesting I’ve been asked to review a satin product too, not the matt one I ordered. Beware.

We are very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the finish you got from the hard wax oil. As per the product information sheet and sticker on top of the tin it is very important to thoroughly stir the oil before use. Matt hard wax oils have a matting agent added to them so need a thorough stir prior to use. Also as mentioned on our instructions you should always do a small test patch on an inconspicuous area prior to the main application to ensure you are happy with the final result as the timber the oil is applied to will always have a significant effect on the final finish.
