Coating. At first, gently stir in the Supi Saunavaha wax, stirring occasionally while using. Apply a small layer in the direction of the wood fiber so that the product is evenly absorbed. Since the wax is very liquid, the easiest way to apply a suitable layer is to use a foam roller or sponge. If you apply too much wax, the surface will be slippery. Test the tinted Supi Saunavaha wax in a low visibility area to make sure the color is right. The final shade depends on the properties of the wood.

Cover small boards all at once to prevent overlapping, and when applying large boards, cover 1 or 2 boards to obtain an even shade. Before using the sauna, heat and well ventilate the steam room.
Surface care. If necessary, clean no earlier than 1 month after painting. Clean the surface with Supi Saunapesu (ratio: 1-2 dl of cleaner with 5 liters of water).
