How Do I Apply Owatrol Deks Olje D.1 Oil?
For applying Owatrol Deks Olje D1, you can use a professional brush or a lint-free roller, depending on the size and accessibility of the surface. For smaller, detailed surfaces, a brush often yields the best results as it allows for more precision. For larger, flat areas, a roller is more efficient and ensures an even distribution of oil. Ensure that your tools are of high quality to prevent leaving hairs or fibres on the wooden surface. For the best results, apply the oil in thin layers and spread it evenly, allowing the wood to fully absorb it and achieve a deep, glossy finish.
