Bio Impression Oil Varnish
Ottosson Färgmakeri - Bio Impression Oil Varnish
Bio Impression is a deep-penetrating, quick-drying and moisture-proof natural oil varnish consisting of:
- Linseed Oil
- Castor Oil
- Lemon Oil
- Aloe
It has an excellent adhesion to all hard, resinous and oily wood types.
Preparation:
- The wooden surfaces should be clean and grease-free, preferably freshly sanded
- The wood's moisture content must not exceed 14%
Bio Impression is applied in at least:
- 2 layers indoors
- 3-5 layers outdoors
Surface treatment with Bioimpression for a semi-matte appearance (silk gloss)
To obtain an “oiled appearance”, apply Bio Impression liberally with a Scotch-Brite type sponge.
Instructions:
Let the oil soak in for 15-20 minutes. Make sure that the entire surface is kept “wet” during this time. Then wipe the surface so that all shiny spots disappear.
The next layer is applied after 8 hours. Wiping can then be done after 1-5 minutes.
If the surface is exposed to sun and rain, repeat this procedure 5-10 times.
Indoors, 1-4 layers are sufficient with normal moisture load.
If the result is too shiny, a smaller area can be matted with a Scotch-Brite after 6-8 hours.
Maintenance:
Surfaces treated as above should be checked annually.
If the surface begins to dull or turn grey, sand with a sanding cloth, or wash with an effective cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly.
Then apply 2 coats of Bio Impression.
Exposed surfaces treated with fewer than 3 coats must be re-oiled within 1-2 years.
Surfaces painted with Linseed Oil Paint can be maintained with Bio Impression.
The paint retains its surface and shine for longer with this “varnish”.
We recommend a thin coat at each maintenance occasion.
