Odie's Solvent-Free Super Penetrating Oil 32oz.

WHAT IT IS-
Odie’s Solvent Free Super Penetrating Oil (SPO) is an extraordinary penetrating oil finish that provides the ultimate in stability and clarity primarily to wood. Food safe, solvent free and non toxic, containing no added driers, heavy metals or part 2 catalyst.

WHAT IT DOES-
Odie’s Solvent Free Super Penetrating Oil penetrates and migrates deep within the surface of the wood, replenishing the cellulose fibers that once carried water and nutrients up the tree. This helps to mitigate moisture gain and loss through the seasons and humidity changes, reducing wood movement (expansion & contraction) and minimizing splitting, cracking, warping and cupping. Another key benefit of Odie’s Solvent Free Super Penetrating Oil is the clarity it provides. The deeper an oil penetrates, the more the natural colors of the wood become revealed. Odie’s Solvent Free Super Penetrating Oil enhances with the ultimate clarity, keeping the lights light and the darks dark, amplifying beautiful contrast and depth, celebrating the spectrum of natural colors and tones in wood. Odie’s Solvent Free Super Penetrating Oil cross links and bonds molecularly becoming one with the medium it applied to.

WHAT YOU CAN USE IT ON-
Odie’s SPO can be used on any wood project, interior or exterior, that could benefit from additional stabilization and or where the ultimate in clarity is a desired value. Great for all species of wood, exotic and domestic, solid or veneer. Formulated to work on even the oiliest of woods. Though originally developed for wood, Odie's Solvent Free Super Penetrating Oil can be used on other solid and semisolid media including but not limited to concrete, leather, stone, metal, plastic and more.

TO USE-
-Stir or mix well before use as ingredients may settle overtime
-Calculate how much oil you need for your project based on wood species or surface material. Use just enough to change the color of the wood, remember, a little goes a long way, DO NOT over saturate!
-Apply sparingly with a non-woven pad (rated equal to or just higher than your last sanding grit) and work the oil into the surface using circular motions. The friction from the application process helps to loosen up and drive the oil into the surface.
-Once the oil has been thoroughly worked into the surface, allow to set up for approximately 10 minutes to 3 hours (45-60 minutes being the ideal time) Do not allow the product to set for more than 8-10 hours, this may result in a reapplication with Odie’s Universal Oil to reactivate the finish for a proper buff/wipe off.
-Now it’s time to Buff Off and remove any and all excess/residual oil from the surface until dry to touch. Take a clean terry cotton towel and scrub the surface clean, making sure to regularly flip to a clean section of towel as it gets loaded up with oil. Switch to a clean towel if/when needed. If you can swipe a clean finger across the surface without leaving a mark, you are done!
-For ultimate protection Let cure for 24-48 hours and topcoat with your Odysseus Cornwall’s finish of choice.

TO MAINTAIN-
The only way to wear the finish away is to wear the surface away itself. If and when the time comes for some maintenance, whether it’s your floor, a countertop, tabletop or cutting board etc, simply clean the surface and apply another light coat of your desired choice of Odysseus Cornwall’s finish as per their instructions. For exterior projects, maintenance will depend on the direct exposure to the elements and the products originally used to finish the project. In extreme conditions, maintenance could be once a year to once every several years or longer in normal conditions.
