HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM TRITON INTERIOR /EXTERIOR OIL & TRITON RANDOM ORBITAL SANDERS.

Recommended finishing procedure
1.       The sanding disc grit you start with will be dependent on the timber surface texture (roughness) of the material you will be working with ie:
  • Chainsaw blade cut may require the use of 40 grit disc to start.
  • Bandsaw blade cut may require the use of 80/120 grit disc to start.
  Note:   When using coarse discs, do not allow sanding pad to overheat - use only for short duration only, allow to cool, then recommence sanding.
2.       Sand surfaces back using 120 grit disc to a smooth surface without score marks.
  Note:   Should score marks appear on the timber surface, the cause is likely to be a clogged sanding disc.  Clean the disc down with a light wire brush then recommence sanding to eliminate score marks.
3.       Change sanding disc to 180 grit and then continue sanding until the timber surface has a lustre like appearance and is free from blemishes.
  Note:   Do not remove sawdust buildup from sanding disc as this assists in step 4.
4.       Apply either Triton's Interior/Exterior oil liberally to the timber surface allowing time for the oil to penetrate.
  • Whilst the oil is still wet on the surface of the timber recommence sanding (now burnishing).
  • Continue burnishing till an even sheen appears across the timber surface.
5.       With minimal oil on a cloth wipe off the excess slurry from the timber surface, continue burnishing using a 600 grit disc.
  Note:  Very porous timbers may need a re-application of oil if patching appears.
  • To obtain a high lustre continue sanding using a 1200 grit paper.
6.       Wipe the surface with a soft cloth, allow to stand for 24 hours then machine or hand buff with a dry clean lambs wool pad.
