To achieve an aging effect on tannin-rich woods like oak, use OLI-NATURA ANTIQUE – a reactive stain that naturally ages the wood. This ecological, VOC-free, water-based pre-treatment penetrates deep into the wood and reacts directly with the tannins present.
OLI-NATURA ANTIQUE is applied to raw wood and creates – depending on the shade – a fumed or graying effect that mimics the natural aging process.
After complete drying, a gentle intermediate sanding is performed, followed by oil treatment with a colorless or colored OLI-NATURA oil – depending on the desired effect.
The reactive stain is available in three color intensities - "limed", "smoked" or "black smoked" and can be mixed to achieve individual shades. Depending on the chosen shade, application amount, and tannin content of the wood, the aging effect will vary in intensity.
The application is possible both manually and industrially – with a brush, roller, spray gun, or roller coater.
Important: The stained surface must be protected with an oil, as the stain alone provides no protection. In addition, the wood surface should not be watered before staining (no water-popping), as this would neutralize some of the natural tannins – and OLI-AQUA ANTIQUE would no longer react optimally.
