Dark Half and Wax

Perfect for indoor or outdoor redwood and cedar breathe decks, the Dark Half Oil + Wax Kit creates a rich, aged look while protecting your wood. The Dark Half oil penetrates deep into the wood pores, crating a darker stained finish. The stain will fade overtime and will need to be replied as needed. This kit enhances the wood's character and durability.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Wood

   • Clean the surface and ensure it’s dry.
   • Use shop rags (available at most hardware stores).

2. Apply Oil

   • Shake the bottle (Recommended: puncture a small hole in the cap for controlled pouring.)
   • Pour oil onto the rag and apply evenly, following the grain.
   • Let the oil penetrate for 12-24 hours for proper saturation.

3. Apply Wax

   • Rub a small amount of wax into the wood with your palm, following the grain.
   • Ensure even coverage until a light sheen appears.
   • We recommend to let the wax cure for 24 hours before use.

Maintenance Tips

• Frequency: Apply oil and wax monthly during the first year, adjusting based on climate and usage.
• Results: Do not apply or leave fresh Tung oil on the surface in direct sunlight. This will flash cure it on the surface and will turn white.
