For applying D1 without following it with D2, is one application satisfactory?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi Rob,

No, you will need to apply additional coats of D1 until the wood is fully saturated. The number of applications depends on the wood type.  Here our our application directions:

Application of Deks Olje D1 saturating wood oil
The secret of Deks Olje’s success lies in its saturation of the wood to bring about an even ‘matte sheen’ ﬁnish when dry.

Start by applying Deks Olje D1 to an area that can be treated in about 15 minutes. As soon as the 1st application has penetrated (normally 15-30 minutes), apply a 2nd application.
Then, continue applying D1 ‘wet on wet’ until a uniform, overall saturation of the wood is achieved. The number of applications needed depends on the wood.
Do not allow Deks Olje D1 to become dry or touch dry between applications.
Leave the ﬁnal application for 30 minutes, then wipe over the surface to remove excess and puddled material with a rag soaked in Deks Olje D1 and rung out so that it is damp to the touch.
If necessary, occasionally ring out the cloth to keep it damp. It is important that as much D1 as possible is applied on the ﬁrst day.
Deks Olje D1 must be kept ‘active’, this is done by the ‘wet on wet’ applications and the continual brushing over of the area, which assists and helps achieve maximum penetration.

D1 has high penetration; its place is in the wood and not as a surface coating.

Allow 3 days for D1 to set-up and dry, before use or in marine uses before putting the boat in service or continuing with Deks Olje D2.
