Treatex Wood Oils, Waxes and Stains
Wood is their passion! Wood has qualities like no other material – it is warm, pleasing to the touch and its wealth of colour and texture is a delight to the eye. Treatex specialise in high quality wood finishes such as hardwax oils that enhance the natural beauty of wood. Their finishes also have a practical purpose – to help protect your wood from damage. All Treatex finishes are easy to apply, attractive and durable.

- Prepare the surface: Sand the wood with 100-150 grit sandpaper, ensuring it's clean and dry.
- Apply the oil: Use a high-quality brush or roller to apply a thin, even coat.
- Drying: Allow the first coat to dry for 3-6 hours.
- Second coat: After the first coat has dried, apply a second coat and let it dry overnight for optimal results.
