The range has been formulated over the years in consultation with interior designers and architects and is revised on a regular basis to ensure the colours are in line with market trends. Application methods can vary the depth of colour achieved. All colours can be mixed together or mixed with the clear Hard Wax Oil to dilute the strength of the tint, offering a unique opportunity to create your own customised colour and eliminating the need to stain. The Fiddes team are available to assist in colour matching or mixing.

PRODUCT DETAILS
Coverage: Approximately 20-24 square metres per litre with one coat
FURNITURE : Brush or roll the Tinted Hard Wax Oil and then using a rag, buff into the surface ensuring the entire surface has been covered. Once dry, apply a coat of clear Hard Wax Oil using a short nap microfibre roller. Alternatively, see above instructions to mix Tinted with Clear Hard Wax Oil.
FLOORING : Apply with a brush, trowel or a floor applicator and buff in with a TAN or BEIGE floor pad using a slow speed buffing machine (175 RPM) whilst ragging edges working the product across the floor. Once dry, apply a coat of clear Hard Wax Oil using a short nap microfibre roller. Alternatively, to achieve a similar look without using a buffing machine mix 10% Tinted HWO with clear HWO and roll on using a short nap microfibre roller.
Maximum 2 coats recommended
Drying time: 4 - 6 hours (Cure in 7 Days)
FIDDES ADVICE
When applied using the above methods the Tinted Hard Wax Oil is more of a transparent tint. If the project requires a deeper colour we recommend using a direct stain such as Fiddes Nitro or Light Fast Water Stain before applying a Clear Hard Wax Oil as per instructions.
Depending on the timber substrate, to achieve a close to raw freshly sanded look, we recommend a coat of White Tinted Hard Wax Oil buffed in, followed by a coat of Clear Hard Wax Oil.
