Cura Wood Treatment

Skageraks Cura wood treatments help to strengthen the natural structure of the wood and ensure a beautiful durable surface, so you can enjoy your furniture for many years without worrying.

Soap

• 1. First, use a wood cleaner to clean particularly stained areas on the surface if any.
• 2. Shake the bottle carefully before use.
• 3. Mix the soap with lukewarm water. For cleaning, use 25 ml of soap per 1 liter of water.
• 4. For basic treatment, use 100 ml. soap per 1 liter of water.
• 5. Wash the wooden surface lengthwise with a damp cloth.
• 6. Make sure to dry the surface thoroughly after the treatment.

Oil

• 1. Sand down the surface with sandpaper grit 180. Wipe off the wood dust with a dry cloth afterwards.
• 2. Clean the wood with Wood Cleaner. After cleaning, let the surface dry for at least 8 hours at room temperature.
• 3. Stir the oil thoroughly before use.
• 4. Use a paintbrush to apply a suitable amount of oil in an even, adequate coat.
• 5. Wait approx. 30 minutes as the oil penetrates the wood. Apply once more if dry spots appear.
• 6. Carefully polish the wood using a polishing pad. This makes the surface more hard-wearing.
• 7. Next, wipe off all excess oil using a lint-free cotton cloth. Do not leave any excess oil on the surface.
• 8. Wait one hour and repeat step 3-7. The surface should be treated 2-3 times before taken into use.
• 9. During the last treatment (at step 4) sand the wood while the surface is still wet with oil. Sand lengthwise the wood grain with sandpaper grit 280-320 and wipe off all excess oil using a lint-free cotton cloth.
• 10. After 24 hours at room temperature, the surface is ready to use. Do not let the wood become wet during the hardening process. The oil is fully hardened after 1 week. The surface should be treated with caution during this period. Liquids must be wiped off.
