Research Results For 'Oiling In'

OILING IN

Oiling in is a process in decorating which is carried out after a surface has been filled and levelled. The surface is thoroughly rubbed down and allowed to dry before a thin coat of varnish and turpentine is applied and allowed to dry. Oiling in seals the porosity of the filler, allowing for uniform paint to be applied.
