It is appropriate for residential and light commercial interior applications including flooring, trim, cabinetry, furniture, and millwork. The finish is applied by brush, cloth, or foam applicator and wiped to achieve the desired depth of color. It is not intended for exterior use or surfaces subject to standing water.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, flooring installers, or painters working on bare or previously stripped wood. Ensure the work area is well ventilated before applying any oil-based finish. Allow full dry time before applying a topcoat or sealer — do not accelerate drying with heat guns. Dispose of solvent-soaked rags per local fire and hazardous-waste codes, as oil-based finishes on rags present a spontaneous combustion risk.
