Deks Olje D1 is suitable for use on hardwood and softwood and has been specially developed for dense, oily and difficult to impregnate woods. It can be used on horizontal and vertical surfaces and provides protection against humidity and its effects as well as against damage from UV rays. If you are looking for an intense high gloss finish, you could opt to use Deks Olje D2. To achieve this finish, all surfaces must first have an application of D1 before you can apply D2.

DO NOT allow Deks Olje D1 to become dry or touch dry between applications. Leave the ?nal application for 30 minutes, then wipe over the surface to remove excess and puddled material with a rag soaked in Deks Olje D1 and rung out so that it is damp to the touch. If necessary occasionally ring out the cloth to keep it damp. It is important that as much D1 as possible is applied on the ?rst day. As previously mentioned, 1-Part Polyurethane varnishes give just as good of a finished result as tung oil and offer the same amount to protection, but are much harder wearing. Due to its strength, these types of varnish are often used for other things such as interior wood flooring. How frequently maintenance coats are required will depend on the quality of prior preparation, quality of application and weather exposure levels. Application and Maintenance Advice NOTE: If the surface looks mottled or splotchy after cleaning and sanding, Deks Olje #1 will still restore the appearance, but a few coats may be needed on the driest areas. Again, do not leave any Deks Oije #1 puddled on the surface. Coverage

Surfaces must first be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings. Treat any mildew with a 50/50 bleach/water solution. Scrub the solution on to the surface and allow it to stand for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. Note: Any rags, steel wool etc. soaked in D1 may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Rags, steel wool etc. must be saturated with water after use or placed in a sealed, water filled metal container, before disposing of it with household waste. Maintenance If necessary, occasionally ring out the cloth to keep it damp. It is important that as much D1 as possible is applied on the first day. No, you do not have to use D2 on top of D1 – as mentioned above, in some instances we would not recommend it as it’s glossy finish can be unsuitable in certain areas.

Coverage depends on the porosity of the wood surface. On very porous wood coverage could be as low as 2 square metres per litre. Caution Once you have applied Deks Olje D1, you can leave the wood as is or if you want a glossy finish, you can apply Deks Olje D2. I applied DEKS OLJE D1 and I noticed that some of the product had run. Can I remove it and if so, how? The secret of Deks Olje’s success lies in its saturation of the wood to bring about an even ‘matt sheen’ finish when dry. Start by applying Deks Olje D1 to an area that can be treated in about 15 minutes. As soon as the 1st application has penetrated (normally 15-30 minutes), apply a 2nd application. Then continue applying D1 ‘wet on wet’ until a uniform, overall saturation of the wood is achieved. The number of applications needed depends on the wood.All previous coatings must be completely and thoroughly removed with Dilunett and stripped surfaces neutralised with Net-Trol before applying Deks Olje D1. Then, continue applying D1 ‘wet on wet’ until a uniform, overall saturation of the wood is achieved. The number of applications needed depends on the wood. After stripping and cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 2-3 good drying days before applying Deks Olje D1. D1 may only be applied to bare wood surfaces or a weathered wood surface that was previously finished with Deks Olje D1. All other finishes must be completely and thoroughly removed first. If necessary sand the surface after cleaning and/or stripping (100 grit paper). New wood All surface areas must be clean, dry and clean from dirt, grease, grime, mildew or previous coatings. Treat any residual mildew with a half and half bleach and water solution. Scrub the solution on and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing the area thoroughly.

Deks Olje D1 doesn’t take-away any of the natural beauty of the wood as it dries clear and matt it enhances it. This wood oil has been optimised to go through dense, oily and difficult to impregnate woods, while still providing the best protection against humidity and damage from UV rays. It’s so good against water this oil can be used above AND below the waterline.All other oils or sealers must be completely and thoroughly removed with Aquanett and stripped surfaces neutralised with Net-Trol, before applying Deks Olje D1. Previously coated surfaces (Paint, Stain, Varnish, Waterproofers) After stripping and cleaning, allow the wood to dry for 2-3 good drying days before applying Deks Olje D1. D1 may only be applied to bare wood surfaces or a weathered wood surface that was previously finished with Deks Olje D1. Owatrol Deks Olje D1 can be applied by either brush or roller and has a theoretical coverage of 1-4m2 per litre for initial application and 8-12m2 per litre for maintenance when reapplying D1 Deks Olje, actual coverage will vary depending on application method, type, texture and porosity of the wood.

Saturating oil can be applied to both horizontal and vertical installations and can provide an excellent base for traditional underwater coatings where necessary. Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 is suitable for all types of woods, both soft and hard, whether oily or dense. Exterior – Prepare as for interior wood or treat the surface with Aquanett and then neutralise with Net-Trol. When applying to new interior wood you will need to prepare the surface by sanding with 100 grit sand paper to open the pores, after sanding dust off and then degrease the surface with methylated sprit. Deks Olje D1 is a highly saturating hardwood oil with a clear matt finish that is perfect for use both above and below the waterline. It drives out moisture and air from within the wood and fills the pores with oil. This enriches and stabilises the wood to provide long-lasting protection. If using in the marine environment, allow 3 days for Deks Olje D2 to set-up and dry before putting the boat in service.The 2-part Polyurethane varnish system consists of 2 products that have to be mixed together. This type of varnish is extremely tough and so also offers very good protection from moisture and UV damage and so potentially a good solution to protect areas that are prone to damage. Deks Olje #1 will stain metal fittings and fiberglass. Be sure to clean these surfaces before it dries. Allow the wood to dry for 2 to 3 days before applying Deks Olje D1. D1 can only be applied to bare wood or weathered wood that was previously treated with Deks Olje D1. Any other treatments must be thoroughly removed first. You may need to sand the surface with 100 grit paper recommended. Apply 6 coats, allowing a minimum of 12 hours between coats. All coats should be applied within 1 month. Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime, mildew and previous coatings. Treat mildew with a 50/50 bleach / water solution. Scrub solution onto surface an allow to stand for 10-15 minutes; rinse thoroughly. After stripping and cleaning, allow wood to dry 2-3 good drying days or until it has reached a moisture content of 18% or less before applying finish. Can only be applied to bare wood surfaces on a weathered wood surface that was previously finished with Deks OLJE D1. All other finishes must be completely and thoroughly removed. If necessary sand surface after cleaning and/or stirpping.
