Velvit
Oil
DESCRIPTION:
A wood finish that stains fills, seals, protects, and
beautifies all in one coat.
USES:
Apply to furniture, paneling, antiques, doors, woodwork, picture
frames, cutting boards, gun stocks and exterior woodwork. For floor applications,
contact us for additional instructions
COVERAGE:
500 Sq. Ft. per gallon.
APPLICATION:
Apply Velvit Oil to the wood surfaces, leave it penetrate 30 to 45 minutes.
If it starts to dry out, apply more Velvit Oil, but keep the surface wet at
least 30 minutes. Once it has penetrated for at least 30 minutes, start to
wet sand using 320 to 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper. The sanding action
creates a paste that fills the pores of the wood. Take a soft cloth and wipe
off the excess. Leave it dry 24 hours. Nothing else need be applied over it.
MAINTENANCE:
Only pure Lemon Oil is recommended for polishing. Silicone or wax oils
make wood susceptible to water spotting and are affected by ultraviolet
light causing darkening of finish with age.

FAQ and Color Chart
Q. How is it possible to achieve deep, even color on pine ?
A. Pine is considered a high pitch wood. This pitch or sap causes variations in the penetration of any color. It is
best to select a very dry pine. We have found that by wiping pine with a cloth dampened with water prior to
application of Velvit Oil, the sap is broken down and the pores opened to allow for a more even penetration of
color.
Q. Is Velvit Oil a toxic substance?
A. Velvit Oil is lead free in Natural as well as all colors. In a liquid state it contains petroleum distillates. After
it has cured, no toxic residues remain.
Q. Can Velvit Oil be used over other finishes.
A. Velvit Oil is made to penetrate into the wood and should only be applied on clean bare wood surfaces,
either new wood or old wood which has the old finish entirely removed to allow for a complete and even
penetration.
Q. Is it necessary to wet rub Velvit Oil?
A. The reason for wet rubbing is two-fold: 1. To produce a velvet smooth surface. 2. In the case of open grain
woods, wet rubbing produces a paste which partially fills the open grain. If wood is finely sanded, simply apply
Velvit Oil, leave penetrate and wipe off the excess. Protective qualities are not affected.
Q. How do you achieve a higher gloss?
A. If the excess Velvit Oil is wiped from the surface while it is still quite fluid, the resulting finish will be flat.
Let Velvit Oil become tacky, then wipe and the finish will have a soft sheen. If additional luster is desired,
apply Velvit Oil by wiping a thin film on the cured first coat. In 10 to 15 minutes wipe off any excess that
remains on the surface. You may also buff the surface with a soft cloth or lambs wool pad after cured.
Q. In finishing the wood work in a new home, what is the easiest way to apply Velvit Oil?
A. First of all be sure all of your wood is clean and finely sanded (it is best to hand or power sand with an
approximately 200 grit production paper). If it is possible, apply Velvit Oil to the trim, doors, cabinets, etc.,
before they have been attached or hung. Allow Velvit Oil to become tacky (about 1 hour), then wipe off the
excess material. At this point you may cut and nail up trim. No need to worry about dust. Leave cure for 24
hours and reapply Velvit Oil with a cloth to add additional luster, repair scratches and cover end cuts. Only a
very thin application is needed. Follow, after 10 minutes, with a dry cloth to wipe off excess.
Q. Does Velvit Oil give the kind of protection that is needed in kitchens and windows?
A. Because Velvit Oil contains a very high amount of solids and has the ability to penetrate these solids deep
into the wood, the greatest amount of protection available is contained in this product. In the curing process,
the wood fibers are actually bonded together and become approximately 25% harder. Velvit Oil will resist
water as well as many household chemicals and abrasion. There is no need to use other finishes although
Velvit Oil will accept them after cured.
Q. Is it difficult to repair damaged areas finished with Velvit Oil?
A. No, a Velvit Oil finish is the easiest to repair. Simply apply a small amount of oil to a scratch or mar, leave
penetrate and wipe off excess material. Because Velvit Oil is in the wood, you will never have lap marks. If
mar is deep, wet rub with Velvit Oil and wet or dry paper.
