DESCRIPTION:
For the nourishment and protection of vertically exposed timbers. Tung and other vital plant oils/extracts have
been impregnated with refined bees wax and U-V ray absorbing oxides to provide a natural, transparent
finish, guarding against exposure degradation and woodrot. Same focus as DECKING OIL, though without
water laying on, and "grip" considerations of horizontal surfaces, this formulation can be slightly more
nourishing (also slower drying).
USES:
Exterior timber, Cladding, Joinery (doors/windows), Pergolas, Rafters etc. With high-rise cladding/joinery
exposed to weather, consider maintenance cycles advocated (see below) if/when appraising this product for
use on difficult to reach scenarios.
SPECIAL NOTES:
a) WESTERN RED CEDAR, PINEWOOD PLY and other ROUGH-SAWN cladding - as airborne pollutants
more readily collect on textured surfaces consider sanding (80-120 grit paper) off excess fibre prior to
oiling/installation
b) Also, prior to installation/erection, strongly consider the merit of applying one, moisture-repelling coat of
this oil to what will become the rear (and probably inaccessible later) face of your formwork.
c) PREVIOUSLY FINISHED TIMBER 鈥? given the predominant use of synthetic resins in most other-brand
acrylics, emulsions and oils, ORGANOIL products are not compatible with them. If wishing to change to our
products, you should thoroughly wash, then sand down surfaces prior 鈥? if not willing to do this, stay with the
product already on there!
APPEARANCE:
MATT finish only. Enhances existing colour of red/brown timbers, though will impart light honey/tan ("semi-
clear") or light red ("Hue of Umber") colour to Cedar, Pine, Oregon and blonde hardwoods.
SIZES AVAILABLE:
1 ltr, 4 ltr & 10 ltr cans. For availability visit website home page.
COVERAGE
1st Coat 2nd Coat/Re-coat
Softwoods 4-6 sq. metres/litre 6-8 sq. metres/litre
Hardwoods 8-12 sq. metres/litre 12 -16 sq. metres/litre
(lower parameters of coverage are for rough-sawn/higher parameters for dressed)
PREPARATION:
1. Have you considered whether above SPECIAL NOTES a), b) and c) are applicable?
2. Ensure timber is clean and dry (min 48 hrs since last wetted). If rain is imminent, put job off until weather
clears and timber dries.
APPLICATION:
1. Stir well prior and during use. This maintains even distribution of ingredients throughout.
2. Apply with brush or lambswool/cloth (dressed timber only) applicator. You may choose spraying (airless
equipment best) on broad area cladding, though be careful of overspray and excessive runs.
3. Apply 2 coats (1 only when rejuvenating) a minimum of 24 hours apart. It is essential that within 1-2 hrs of
final application (and re-coating) you dry-brush or cloth in excess surface oil. This helps to ensure surfaces

are non-tacky (less likely to collect dust).
Construction site note: with timber cladding being coated prior to installation, our recommendation is: 1
application to all sides of boarding, stack with boards separated for ventilation whilst drying, install when
ready, then apply 2nd coat to all aspects that are now available/exposed.
CLEAN UP:
Hot Soapy water or Gum Turpentine.
MAINTENANCE:
Given the vertical aspect, with lower direct U-V ray duration than decking etc., best surface appearances are
maintained by the occasional wash down (soapy water and bristled brush/water-pressure cleaner) and light
re-oiling. Areas that are fully exposed should require this attention every 12-18 months. Where under
verandah roof protection it would more likely be every 3-4 years . Only re-oil areas seen to be necessary.
BOTTOM LINE:
Timber's structural soundness, and protection against exposure degradation and woodrot, is well catered for
by the ingredients of our external products. Air -borne pollutants, such as that from roadways, airways and
particularly gum tree soot, collect on ALL surfaces (eg. your motor vehicle etc). Given your location, rinse
down surfaces intermittently so as they don't build up. Where large areas of woodwork are involved, do
yourself a favour and procure an efficient water-pressure cleaner. Finally, you are not excused from referring
to can鈥檚 instruction label for other storage, disposal, health and safety considerations.
