Blanchon White Acrylic Stain and White Oil
To create the whitest oak floor possible you need to use the latest Blanchon development which is an acrylic wood stain that bleaches the white oak giving a consistent “whiteness” throughout the floor.
Blanchon White Acrylic Wood Stain and Blanchon White Hard Wax Oil
To get the best finish possible you should always sand the floor after installing and when every other trade has finished. Always use a professional tradesman who has experience in oiling and finishing wood floors.
The finishing on site the process would be as follows:
· Use a good quality sanding machine with 120 / 80 grit
· Apply one coat of White Acrylic Wood Stain by brushing in one direction across the grain
· Allow to dry for at minimum of 10 minutes to ensure the stain penetrates the wood
· Apply a second coat of White Acrylic Wood Stain by brush at 90⁰ to the first by brushing along the grain
· Allow to completely dry for at least 3 hours
· Apply one coat of Hard Wax Oil by roller or brush
· Allow this first coat of white hard wax oil to completely dry over 24 hours
· Apply the second coat of White Hard Wax Oil
· Use a high quality buffing machine to harden the hardwax oil and to create the perfect finish.
· Allow 24 hours (preferably 72 hours) before the floor is subjected to traffic
The floor will harden within 24 hours of the final coat, but will gradually become a tough hard surface over a period of 9 days from the final coat.
