Why is there a Hazmat shipping fee for Antique Lye?

Antique Oak Lye contains Sodium Hydroxide, which has been deemed hazardous by the Department of Transportation. This classification requires special documentation and transportation. An $80.00 1 box (4, 2.5L containers or 8 testers) is mandated by the Department of Transportation and is required for ground shipping. A signature is required for delivery.

How do I place an order for Antique Lye?

The shipping fee will be the same for increments of 4 or 8 for testers. All Hazmat orders must be shipped using FedEx Ground, and someone will need to be present to sign for delivery.

What types of wood can Antique Lye be used on?

WOCA Antique Lye reacts to the tannin in the wood, therefore the color after application may vary depending on the concentration of tannin in the wood. Sapwood will not react with Antique Lye.

Do I need to finish the floor after using Antique Lye?

Yes. Your oak floors will need to be finished with either Diamond Oil Active or Master Color Oil.

Can polyurethane be used after an Antique Lye treatment?

The short answer? Yes. However, we cannot guarantee that every polyurethane will work with our lye treatments. For more information, contact our customer service team at 1-877-962-2645 or by email at info@wocawoodcare.com

What effect does Antique Lye have on wood?

The effectiveness of Antique Lye is solely dependent on the tannin in the wood, therefore the color after application may vary depending on the concentration of tannin in the wood. WOCA Antique Lye gives white/European oak a smoked look and minimizes the red tones in species such as red oak, walnut and Brazilian cherry. Antique Lye can be used on hickory to produce grain enhancement. Sapwood will not react with Antique Lye, therefore, it cannot be used on this type of wood.
