Cabot's CFP Floor Oil Based Questions & Answers

We purchased two identical tins of this floor coating and half our floors are a flat Matte satin as intended, the other is gloss. It’s almost like the wrong product was put in the tin and the whole floors were prepped and coated the same way, and are the same wood. Not happy at all.

Can I use the CFP oil based without hardener for the 1st coat and add the hardener on 2nd and 3rd coats?

I am using this product with the hardener and find it quite thick to push around - can I still use a thinner for easier application even with the hardener ?

I have a tin of Cabot's CFP floor oil base. Can I use this product on a kitchen table? Is it food safe? My concern is that we will be eating off this table.
Thank you

hello i have previously used this product on a vanity unit top and it finished beautifully dead flat and hard as nails magificent, i recomended the product to a customer of mine to use on an exterior shelf and it bubbled, any suggestions,

While at Bunnings I asked a team member for a the best roller to apply this product and was handed a sheepskin roller which I used for the first coat. I didn’t notice it was a 20 nap roller until after the first coat which resulted in an uneven finish.
If I apply the second coat using a 6 or 10 nap roller, or an applicator, will it even out and become smooth OR do I need to sand back to raw timber again?

Hi there,

We are on our 3rd coat of the oil based varnish. We aren't too sure when we can put back our furniture.. Is it 24hrs or can we return them back after the 3rd coat is dry 12hrs?

Thanks

Can you spray apply oil based CFP floor?

Hi, I just did I a first coat on floor with cfp oil based. I now learn that you can use a hardener which is better lasting. Can I use hardener in the second coat? Thanks

Hi,
The background - I have an existing hardwood floor that has been coated many decades ago and in places that coating has worn off. Many out of the way areas are as pristine as they day they were coated. I have cleaned and sanded the worn areas pretty much back to bare timber and lightly sanding all other areas.
The question - Do I use CPF water or oil based?
Many thanks
Neil

Hi,
We are using Cabots CFP Oil based on bar & servery. Am based in far northern islands of PNG so hot & humid - the product tends to form a skin really quickly which is problematic when applying to large timber slabs,
Can the product be thinned somewhat - if so a general thinner or metho based ? and also - general mix thinner to product.
Note info suggests best applied with applicator or roller - we're using multiple boys on 4" brushes to get the product on quickly.
If roller is deemed the best finish - indication of the preferred roller for the product please.
Regards

Hi I’m using the CFP oil based on a teak table I’ve stained. I’ve left the stain dry for 3 hours. Applied first coat, came out great. Lightly sanded 12 hours later with 240. Applying second coat. There seems to be a few spots where the oil has become scaly. Like cracks. Wondering why and is there a solution? Thanks.
