It's best applied on bare wood without an additional top coat, though adding a coat of Natural can increase sheen and durability without changing colour. This blend of natural oils and resins deeply penetrates wood fibers, creating a robust, water-resistant finish.
Over time, oil-based products may yellow, so we recommend Tough Coat or Ultra Guard our water-based top coats for lighter colours to avoid this effect.
Applying SFO on Bare Wood:
Applying SFO over Painted Surfaces: Apply in thin amounts, buffing off excess immediately. This will increase the sheen and durability of the painted surface.

How To Use on Bare Wood : pour or brush onto evenly sanded surface, remove excess after 15-20 minutes.If desired, add a second coat after re-coat time for deeper colour or more sheen. The pigment in it stains your wood accentuating the grain. SFO is a combination of natural oils and resins that penetrate into wood fibres to create a durable, scratch-resistant, waterproof finish. It does not leave a surface film that sits on top, but instead soaks into and becomes a part of your wood.
If applying over Fusion Mineral Paint, remove excess immediately.
Use the Natural color over Fusion Mineral Paint™ colours to increase the sheen and offer superior durability, or brush on one of the pigmented colours and wipe off immediately for a beautiful, easy glaze effect. Our special blend is highly concentrated in pigment, so a little goes a long way. The 237 mL container will cover the same area as 1 litre of comparable stains.
