Livos Meldos - Sauna Oil

Instructions for use

MELDOS Natural Resin Hardening Oil No. 264

Coniferous wood

The wood must be dry, solid, absorbent, finely sanded (furniture: grit 240), clean, free of resin and dust. Glue and adhesives must be absolutely dry. Depending on requirements and absorption: 1 to 3 coats ("wet in wet" or with intermediate drying), until the wood is saturated. After 20 to 30 minutes after each treatment, the oil that has not been absorbed must be spread on the still absorbent areas or removed. Sand with 240 grit sandpaper between coats. Suitable LIVOS products for after-treatment: ARDVOS Universal Wood Oil No. 266, ALISA Hard Wax No. 302 or BIVOS Oil Wax No. 375. In areas exposed to splashing water as well as in areas subject to moisture, do not apply any subsequent wax treatment.

Open-pore stone slabs

After deacidification with GLOUROS Cement Residue Remover No. 1808 (follow the manufacturer's instructions), leave the tiles untreated for at least four weeks. Treat a tile in an inconspicuous area; if white spots or streaks appear, deacidify again. Saturate the tiles with MELDOS Natural Resin Hardening Oil No. 264. Carefully remove excess oil about 20 minutes after application. For further information on further treatment, see also "Coniferous wood".

Terrazzo

Apply generously to the inside and outside, wipe the surface after about 15 minutes with a lint-free cotton cloth or an oil-absorbing pad with a polishing machine. In the interior areas, a very thin layer can be polished after drying, which can be supplemented by repeated polishing depending on wear. In the exterior areas, no layer should form on the surface. Depending on the influence of the weather, maintenance can be carried out with a very thin layer once a year.

Renovation of old coatings

Pore-clogging coatings (oil-based paints, lacquers, multi-layer coatings) and wax coatings must be sanded or stripped until no old residue remains. The surface must be solid, absorbent, clean and free of dust. Open-pored coatings must be cleaned and, if necessary, lightly sanded. Test the surface for absorbency and compatibility. Follow the application instructions for softwood surfaces, but take into account possible lower absorbency.

Important Tips

MELDOS Natural Resin Hardening Oil No. 264 is not suitable for further treatment of stained, leached softwoods or hardwoods in general (linseed oil may leak out of the pores and fruitwoods may become stained).
