All About Soapstone

Conservation and oil from the SOP table

Soapstone can be deepened and the oil mineral oil in the gray and black stones to bring some color lines. The only time I oil for a day or two before the party because I hate the counter to be cleaned. I really only for a year until the first oil from the hands of the people of the natural dark stone, it is not necessary. Since talc is a very intensive applications will not absorb the mineral oil or body oil, but over time, and a variety of programs, a molecular bond with the surface form. Over time, stocks and oil decline should re-apply unless, of course, a lot of daily use and exposure of the table. This is unlike the granite sealer will absorb.

Recommendations regarding oil talk schedule is as follows:

- 3 times per week in first month
- 2 times per week for 2 months
- Once the third week
- After 3 months as needed to maintain color

Application of mineral oil with a soft cloth or paper towels work. Make sure you are not too much oil to apply! Would you just love the color change.

Let it sit overnight, then excess stock with a clean cloth mineral oil, until it is dry.

So you see, to hold oil to see if it is a one to two days of the procedure. I think it looks great both ways which is why I only party with the oil. Technical decorations in the blog photo shows just installed consultation. It is not the oil and it has a very light gray color to be. Later, the photos show the same counter is only three days after the refueling, which is a rich caramel and charcoal, with a nice green color are wrong.

It should be noted that a number of years from time to time oil a show to maintain in about midway between the extremes of the anti-control normal use, until enough to watch.
