Treatment with wood treatment oil
The table has been treated once with wood
treatment oil in the factory. Shiny spots
on the table surface are easily removed by
polishing with the coarse side of a Scot-
chbrite® sponge or similar.
In order for the table to retain its high
surface resistance, sand the surface lightly
along the wood grain with fine-grained
sandpaper a few days after assembly. Wipe
off all sanding dust with a cloth and then
apply a thin, even coat of BEHANDLA wood
treatment oil with a brush or a cloth until
the surface cannot absorb any more oil.
Take extra care when applying oil to the
end edges of the table top, apply a second
coat if necessary, as they are liable to crack
formation. To avoid the risk of making
marks on the floor, do not oil the underside
of the legs.
Leave the oil to penetrate the surface for
15-20 minutes. Wipe off any surplus oil
with a soft cloth. After ca. 24 hours, when
the oil has dried up, sand down any grain
raising with fine-grained sandpaper. When
the surface is smooth, repeat the oil tre-
atment. To ensure that the table retains its
appearance and durable surface for many
years to come it should be treated with
BEHANDLA wood treatment oil at regular
intervals.
IMPORTANT! Wash used brushes and soak
used cloths in water and dispose of them
in a fireproof dustbin to prevent the risk of
spontaneous combustion.
Advice
— Use furniture glides to prevent discolo-
ration of flooring which can react to the
tannic acid contained in the oakwood.
— Clean the table by wiping it first with a
damp cloth and then with a dry cloth.
Wipe off any spills immediately as liquid
that is allowed to remain a long time on
the surface of an oil-treated table can
leave marks.
— Cast iron pots can make black marks on
the table top, due to the fact that the
tannic acid contained in the oakwood
reacts with the iron. Therefore, do not
place a wet cast iron pot directly on the
table, but use a pot stand. Superficial
damage can be removed by sanding
with fine-grained sandpaper along the
wood grain. Then apply a second coat
of oil.
