Oil treatment deepens the natural colour of wood.
Always use oil on surfaces that have been earlier treated with oil.
Please note that wood fillers absorb tinted lacquers and oils differently to the surrounding surface. This may result in the final colour being uneven.

The air, surface to be treated and paint or lacquer temperature must be at least +5°C.
With Kiva Furniture Lacquer and Feelings Furniture Paint the temperature must be at least +10°C. Relative humidity must be below 80%.
Always read the instructions on the product label before use.
Choose the same colour undercoat and topcoat.
Remove or mask door fittings and handles before painting.
If you paint the door in place, put a wedge under it.
When painting panel doors, first paint the panels.
Paint the parts surrounding the panels last.
Plan a suitable order of painting, eg. paint window frames from the top downwards.
When treating wood surfaces with semi-transparent products, the final colour of the wood depends on the species, hardness and original colour of the wood and the number of times it has been treated. Make a small test application.
When applying semi-transparent products, always apply continuously in the direction of the grain for an even finish.
On large plane surfaces such as doors, you can first apply using a mohair paint roller and then with a wide smoothing brush.

If you continue painting the following day, put the paint roller or brush in a plastic bag and seal tightly overnight.

Ensure adequate ventilation.
Let the paint dry properly. For paints and lacquers, surface dry is not sufficient. Depending on the product and coat thickness, final drying may take anything from a few days to four weeks.

If there is any paint or lacquer left over, put the lid carefully back on the can to form a tight fit. Turn the can upside down for a moment to make the lid airtight. Opened and/or tinted products cannot withstand prolonged storage.
Take liquid paint waste to a hazardous waste collection point. Empty or dry cans can be taken to a recycling point or to a public waste disposal site.
