COVERAGE OF HEMP OIL

Coverage will vary taking into consideration what surface the oil is being applied. For example, previously oiled surfaces will require very little oil, whereas bare wood will require more. Let the wood tell you! If the oil disappears very quickly, throw on another coat. 500 ml – Covers approximately 80 square feet.

APPLYING HEMP OIL

Although our Hemp Oil comes in shades ranging from golden yellow to dark green, depending on when it is harvested. It will not change your paint colour! Applied over wood this oil will darken and richen to a soft lustre sheen. Generally the older the wood, the more it will darken it. This will vary based on the type of wood/species and the age of the wood. It is highly recommended to try a small amount on an area to find out how your project will look with this application.

Over Fusion Mineral Paint it will increase the sheen ever so slightly giving protection against dust that can show on darker colours.

CURE TIME FOR HEMP OIL

The oil will feel dry to the touch one day after the initial application, however complete drying can be several days. For example, if there is too much oil initially applied, then small amounts of oil may rise over the first few days. You can avoid this, by wiping the excess away with a cloth.

When using Hemp Oil on wood floors, we recommend placing some cardboard pieces over top of the floor where there is a lot of foot traffic. You'll want to keep off any dirty shoes for at least two weeks!
