Surface

Reaction

When metal gets warm (as in summer conditions) the pores of the metal open up and the Liquid Gold Liquid Lanolin penetrates deeper into the metal surface. Once Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin has been applied to the surface of the metal, the surface will have a slightly waxy feel to it.

Over a period of time, because the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin has worked it's way deeper into the metal, the metal surface will feel dry and possibly show signs of light rust starting to appear. At this stage the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin needs to be reapplied.
However, because the previous coat of Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin still exists deeper in the metal, over a period of applications, the time between reapplications will increase, eventually the entire interior of the metal will become pickled with Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin and reapplication will be very rare (this may take 4 or 5 applications over 3 to 4 years).

As a reapplication guide, for normal weathering conditions (non marine), after the initial coat of Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin, reapplication may be required after 12 months, and again after another 18 months, and a further application 2 years later. It is best to reapply Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin if any light rust forms on the surface. In some cases 1 application of Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin is all that is required.

Rusted surfaces, remove as much rust as is possible with a wire brush prior to application of Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin, removing loose, flaking rust. Apply Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin directly over rusted surfaces, the lanolin will penetrate through the rust and into the clean metal underneath, encapsulating the rust and stopping further corrosion forming In the case of rust forming under painted surfaces, causing paint blisters, the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin will penetrate through the paint and through the rust, preventing further corrosion.

Application of Liquid Gold Liquid Lanolin on metal is best applied onto metal which is warm to the touch (eg left in the sun for an hour to warm up). If applying in cold conditions we suggest heating the metal if possible before applying.

Application for anti-corrosion, apply a small amount of Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin to the surface and rub lightly with a rag to spread over the surface. Allow to stand for at least an hour if possible. Then rub any excess off the surface with a clean rag.

Caution, Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin will leave a sticky film on the surface if it is over-applied, if this occurs, continue to rub the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin further into the surface with a clean rag until stickyness dissapears.

For using Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin as a lubricant, apply a small amount to the surface requiring the lubrication and spread evenly over the surface with a clean rag.

Timber

Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin preserves timber by replacing the natural timber oils which have been lost due to weathering, because Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin is a natural oil it replaces the lost timber oils with another one of natures oils. This has an effect of naturally preserving and waterproofing the timber that Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin is applied to.

Timber naturally draws Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin deeper into the body of the timber, away from the surface. Over a period of applications the timber will eventually become pickled with Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin and reapplication will be rare.

Apply a liberal coat of Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin onto the timber and leave to soak into the timber for as long as possible, preferred time is approximately 1 week. Over that period of time, one of two things will occur, depending on the hardness and dryness of the timber. Either the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin will have soaked into the timber, leaving the surface dry, in which case apply a second coat, or excess Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin will be present on the surface, if this is the case then you can either rub the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin deeper into the timber or remove the excess with a clean rag.

Caution, if applying Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin to timber seats, make sure the Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin is well rubbed in and no excess is left on the surface as this may soil clothing.

It is best to apply Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin during summer or on a warm day.

Leather, Oilskins, Vinyl and some plastics

Lanolin Gold Liquid Lanolin will restore and preserve these surfaces when applied.
