http://www.sadolin.co.uk/homeowner/products/interior/flooroil/description This sounds like your product. I believe it is a Pine or Linseed Oil product, unhelpfully Sadolin have loaded the Material Safety Data Sheet Twice but not loaded the Product Data Sheet! Then under Hints and Tips for...

The problem with Silicon is that, in the future when you want to overcoat your floor with more lacquer or oil, or even maintenance products, the water repellance of the silicon repels these products leading to spotty effect where the over-coating product balls up. For the extra pound or two...

The most dangerous part of the operation is the dust you generate while sanding, wear a mask for that. Once dried the VOC will have gone from either product. TT

Nicely put. :) Just to copy another line from the Saicos data sheet WoodYouLike just quoted from "Do not apply in the presence of naked flames. Wash out any used cloth immediately or store in airtight container (danger of combustion)." I have never been convinced that a product that is...

Hardly any VOC!! With a specific gravity of 1:1 435g/l VOC is 43.5%voc Nearly half the product is Volatile Organic Compounds. http://www.saicos.de/fileadmin/bilder/technische_merkblaetter/technische_merkblaetter_EN/03TDS_HardwaxOilsGB_08_10.pdf With a specific gravity of 0.9g/cm3 this...

Firstly you will need to sand to at least 100 or 120 grit, leaving the floor at 80 grit will cause accelerated wear. In a straight fight between traditional oil or hardwax oil I would go for Hardwax Oil due to it's better wear ability and resistance to spills. That said I would not discount...

When sanding a floor you would normally go along the length of the board. With a herringbone pattern if you did this you would then go at 90 degrees across the next block. The normal solution to this would be to sand at 45 degrees in both directions to produce an even finish. In this...

One of the good features of HWO is it's high level of water repelance. This means that Polyurethane (which is water based) will not stick. So if you want to change, you need to sand back to bare wood. Hardwax Oil has it's flaws, but it would seem a little drastic to be thinking of removing it...

There is a huge range to choose from. I personally always use Bona Lacquers, but even then they have too much choice. It does depend of the result you would like, Maple is fairly light to start with, if you use Junkers HP (being higher in solvent) it will darken the wood more than Bona Traffic...

Fill the gaps with a proper wood floor gap filler. a water based filler like Bona Mix and Fill is good for gaps up to 2mm, if the floor has gaps over 2mm use a solvent based product like Lecol 7500, much smellier but works well on gaps upto 5mm. Don't stain the gap filling product separately, it...

Carls 25 - Hardwax oil probably only needs a few hours drying between the coats, just make sure you remove the excess before putting the hardwax down. Before putting furniture onto hardwax oil, it will vary depending upon temperature, ventilation and the thickness you applied, around 24-48...

For a board to shrink it must be drier now than when it was laid. Normally wood floor expand in the summer due to higher humidity, they dry out in the winter with all the central heating and underfloor heating. Is the floor somewhere exposed to lots of sunlight? Conservatory or south facing...

Firstly I would only use a single coat of Carl's 25. The point of this type of oil is that it is in the wood, not on the wood. If you apply too much, or fail to remove excess properly, it tends to sit on the surface looking glossy. and takes for ever to dry. A single coat should do it. As for...

Hi David The refinishing product for Bona Carl's 90 is Bona Carl's 25. These are just natural pine oils with a Naphta chemical drier. The 25 has more Naphta to re-soften the existing oil and allow more oil into the surface. Depending upon exactly what has caused the blotches (if their was...

Hi Caline Sounds like you need a product called Bona Naturale. It's a lacquer not an oil, but very matt and is designed not to change the colour of the wood. Phone them, I am sure they will send a sample. TT

Hi Spacecat Not sure we want to get into this discussion again. :) There are some on here who prefer Hardwax Oil, some, like me who prefer "Quality" lacquers (Not the B&Q stuff) Each choice has pros and cons. Search the forum site and you will find our views. We would probably all...

The solvents from the product will evaporate fairly quickly, when dry (3-5 days) they should have applied the Ronseal. Given another 7 days and the product should be dry. It may look terrible, but it should be dry and now safe to let the little one across it. If the cupping is too severe or...
