LTP Stone Oil (1 Litre) - Oil-Based Impregnating Sealer

Product Information

HG tile and natural stone oil and grease absorber is an oil stain remover for natural stone that absorbs oil stains on flagstones, terra cotta, marble, sand-lime, and other types of natural stone as well as cement and concrete floors. This oil absorber is a self-acting stain remover that absorbs the oil or grease from the stone. Water stones are high maintenance and expensive, but offer a wider range of grits and a longer lifespan. The choice is yours, my sharpening-savvy friend! Just remember, no matter which stone you choose, proper care and maintenance are key to getting the most out of your investment. So, oil up your oil stone or soak your water stone and let's get sharpening! FAQ Apply by Brush, Paint pad or lint free cloth depending on the required application, please note more porous stone may require more than one application, remove any excess Oil that has not been fully absorbed with in an hour with Lint free cloths.

For use indoors or outdoors: A self-acting stain remover that is ideal for garages, patios, outhouses, sheds & drives. Suitable for use on natural stone floors and tiles indoors as well. Man-made benchstones come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are available in a range of grit sizes: coarse (80-100 grit), medium (150-220 grit), and fine (280-320 grit). Benchstones are durable, wear slowly, and retain their flatness significantly longer than waterstones.

Waterstones are available in a range of grit sizes, like man-made benchstones, but are usually available in much finer grits than benchstones. Waterstone grits are typically measured based on the Japanese system and are not directly comparable to grit sizes used for benchstones and diamond stones. For example, a 1000 grit waterstone is close in surface finish to a 320 grit benchstone. Additional comparisons can be found in the table below. Grease and oil stains of almost any kind can be eliminated from porous stone-like surfaces using HG tile and natural stone oil absorber. Oil and grease remover for effective grease stain removal The ceramic grit in man-made waterstones, the white ceramic stones and Norton’s “India” stones are all aluminum oxide, just like your grinding wheel. Of course, you know that each of these products cuts quite differently. The reason lies not with the actual ceramic cutting particle, but with the matrix that binds the crystals together. Natural stones are typically some form of quartz (which is also a ceramic) such as Novaculite. Arguably the best source of these stones is the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas. But Novaculite is found elsewhere, including in naturally occurring Japanese waterstones. Folks in the 18th century were getting Novaculite-rich stones from what is today Syria, Lebanon and Israel. These modern-day nations were then part of the Ottoman- Turkish Empire, which is where people in the Anglo-American 18th-century world got the term “Turkey Stone.” Important: Used cloths should be burnt as they may spontaneously combust. Allow good ventilation during application. Avoid working in direct sunlight; rapid oxidization may inhibit effectiveness. Excess sealer that is left to dry on the surface can be removed with white spirit.

Use on Polished Marble, Terracotta, natural stone and other porous tile such as Slate and Limestone where a natural look is required, effective for interior or exterior applications. Coverage; per 10m2 per 1ltr on lower porosity floors approx. and 2ltrs per 10m2 for higher porosity floors. Method of Application: Are you finding that your knives, scissors, or other cutting tools are dull and need to be sharpened but aren’t sure which sharpening stone to choose? Explore the four most common types of sharpening stones: benchstones, waterstones, ceramic stones, and diamond stones, and learn about the different finishes each type of stone imparts. These two conventional terms suggest that certain stones are best used with oil as a lubricating medium while others perform better with water. However, this is not the case as all sharpening stones can be used with either lubricant - or none. Of course, the use of water or oil can be beneficial, and lubrication helps to prolong the life of very fine, expensive varieties like Japanese water stones. Natural Sharpening Stones vs Synthetic

Low cost: Oil stones are typically less expensive compared to whetstones, making them a good choice for those on a budget. Diamond Stone - These type of stones for sharpening contain small diamonds which are attached to the face of a metal plate. A Diamond Sharpening stone is one of the "harder" versions for sharpening. Stone Oil has 16 vessels and 43 barges to service tug boats, push boats, line boats and harbor tugs as well larger vessels including international ships, work barges and drill ships in need of offshore delivery. Our strong relationships with major refiners allow for competitive pricing and a consistent supply of fuel. A Sharpening Stone is used to sharpen edges and other surfaces, through an application known as "grinding" and "honing". You can learn more in our sharpening stones guide.

Slow sharpening speed: The use of oil as a lubricant makes oil stones slower than w hetstones, which can take longer to sharpen a blade. The choice between oil and w hetstones depends on personal preference and the type of tool being sharpened. Waterstones should be completely soaked in water for several minutes prior to use, ensuring that the water has penetrated through the entire stone. Waterstones are typically made from aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, depending on the grit size, but the abrasive/bond combination makes these stones cut faster than benchstones and impart a much smoother finish. Benchstones are the most commonly used sharpening stones and are also known as oilstones or whetstones. As the term oilstone suggests, a thin layer of oil is typically used as a lubricant on this type of stone to enhance sharpening performance and to keep the sharpening surface from loading or glazing. Important if using this product outside finish with a coat of Tile Doctor Ultra-seal to offer extra protection.Oil Stones - A more traditional choice of Sharpening Stone. Comprised of three main materials - Novaculite, Aluminium Oxide and Silicon Carbide. Oil stones use oil for swarf removal, which is the term used for metal filing. Ensure surface to be treated is completely dry and free from Contaminants which may prevent Stone Oil from properly curing.

Overall, sharpening stones are an essential tool for keeping blades sharp and ready for use. Whether you are a professional chef, woodworker, or simply someone who wants to maintain their kitchen knives, a sharpening stone is a useful tool to have in your collection. Differences between oil and whetstones Oil has a low surface tension and makes an excellent cutting fluid. But there is no one best oil for all stones. Fine-grit stones have small pores and need light-weight oils. I find kerosene-based WD-40 makes an excellent cutting fluid on my finest stones (but I get the kind in pump bottles rather than the spray can, because it contains no fluorocarbons). Mineral oils, such as 3-In-One or Norton’s specially formulated honing oil, work well on coarse synthetic stones. Mineral oil can be “cut” with Dextron III automatic trans- mission fluid to reduce its surface tension for finer stones. Can I use oil stones with water or vice versa? It's best to use oil stones with oil and w hetstones with water. Using oil on a water stone can cause contamination, and using water on an oil stone can cause the oil to become diluted and ineffective. What are oil stones made of? Oil stones are typically made of aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, which are both hard and durable materials. Speed of Sharpening: Oil stones are generally slower than W hetstones, and because they use oil, they can take longer to sharpen a blade. w hetstones are faster and more efficient, but they can also wear out faster.As we saw above, whetstones are made from a number of different materials, each of which produces differing finishes on the surface to which they are applied. Stones, like your skin, are porous. Bits of swarf can get trapped in the pores of a stone, just like dirt gets trapped in the pores of your skin. As it builds up, the tool will begin to ride on the swarf instead of on the crystals. When that happens, we say our stone is “clogged.” At that point, it will cut slowly. What we need is a liquid with a low enough surface tension to get into the pores and lift out (through surface tension) the stuff we don’t want there. Soap reduces the surface tension of water and allows it to flow into the pores of our skin. You can use soap (any kind will work) as a cutting fluid. I mix up dish detergent with water in a plant sprayer. The ratio of water to soap is determined by the porosity of the stones. (Technically, each different grit stone would be most efficient with a different fluid. Versatility: Oil stones have a lower grit range, making them suitable for general purpose sharpening and maintenance of knives, blades, and tools.
