Overview

Overview

Back

Woca Antique Oak Lye is a reactive treatment used for giving oak an aged appearance, before treating with a Woca oil or soap. The Oak Lye chemically reacts with the natural tannin in the wood to draw the aged brown colour from the wood grain. It continues working long after application, achieving its final unique colour within 1 to 2 months. The more tannin in the oak, the darker the colour after application.

  1. All previous coatings must be fully removed by sanding prior to applying this product

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. The test area should include the final top-coat to be able to fully assess the finish baring in mind that the colour will continue to change for 1 to 2 months after completion. Shake well before use. Ensure room temperature stays around 20°C during application and drying. Thoroughly read and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Keep any plants and aquariums away from the environment where this product is being applied.

  2. Allow to dry between 2 - 4 hours
  3. Clean off using Woca Intensive Wood Cleaner and leave to dry completely for 8 - 12 hours
  4. Lightly de-nib the surface with a sanding pad
  5. Remove all traces of de-nibbing / sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner, before applying a finishing product

Cleaning Equipment

Finishing

Finishing

Back

Woca Antique Oak Lye must be coated with a wood oil such as a Woca Wood Oil or Woca Soap to protect the finish.

Aftercare

Aftercare

Back

Wooden floors should never be saturated with water as part of a cleaning routine as this will significantly reduce performance of the finish. Never use household cleaners / detergents as these may degrade or damage the finish.

Floors treated with Woca Antique Oak Lye and then finished with a Woca wood oil, can be easily cleaned and protected with Woca Commercial Soap and Woca Natural Soap to help maintain and protect the longevity of the surface.
