ATTENTION:
Natural materials give off particular odours, which
may be unpleasant to some people. We recommend a light
airing after painting, until these odours dissipate.
Inner surfaces of furniture should be treated with BIO
Antique Wax or BIO Japanese Seedlac as varnishes or
oils may develop lasting odours.
Hardwoods and other timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be degreased using Bio Thinner because these substances may mix with the varnish / oil and prolong its drying time. Let dry for 24 hours.

Darker Timber - Use BIO Red Oil working it well into

15-30 minutes.
