Hardwood Floors April/May 2024

Advertorial by Odie’s Oil

SIMPLICITY VERSUS COMPLEXITY A single application is all that is needed to give a floor an unbeatable finish that’s truly water, stain, chemical, and pet proof. No water popping, screening between coats, or returning to apply another coat needed. No changing pads or rushing across the floor because the finish is setting up on you. No more worrying about applying and buffing off section by section within a few minutes; with Odie’s, you can apply the whole floor and then go back and buff it off. Take your time and slowly work it into the wood – the result is a calming and pleasant scented application process. High sheen levels can be achieved simply by sanding to a higher grit (there are no sanding limits). Just be sure not to skip grits! An additional second coat can be applied, to achieve a different effect, such as a velvety look and feel, or higher sheen, using Odie’s Wood Butter (the application method requires working it in even more and applying the butter directly to the pad). Odie’s Dark Oil can give you an oxidized, fumed, or aged look with just a single coat. When applying any Odie’s Oil finish, slowly work the

product into the surface with a red pad, then buff it off with a white pad, removing 100 percent of the remaining oil from the surface. Finally, follow with a final quick buff-off with a cotton terrycloth towel, and your floor is complete on the very same day. Be sure to remove all remaining oil from the surface so it is dry to the touch without smears, smudges, residue, or footprints. No worries about callbacks because you won’t have any if you apply it correctly. However, corrective actions within the first couple of weeks are typically nothing more than reapplying some Odie’s Oil (which reactivates the finish) and then buffing it off. Attaining color is easy, nearly infinite, and determined by the user. Just stir in one of 26 creative colors, or blend the powders to create a custom color, or use our safer solvent-based method to create a solid color. Colors can be anything from translucent to solid, and sheen levels can be matte to high gloss. Afterward, you can dial the color and the sheen level up or down. It’s entirely up to the user. The ease with which this can be achieved is refreshing. Unlike many other finishes, there is no pre-staining required. Beautiful color is achieved in the same single application of finishing. And there are no more unused cans of stain or colored oils lying around.
