WOCA Antique Lye Tester is an affordable way to sample WOCA Antique Lye on your wood surface. Antique Lye has been specially developed to produce an ammonia smoked appearance to oak wood. This product is user-friendly but corrosive and should be handled with caution during application. Since the product reacts with the tannic acid in the oak, the color after application may vary depending on the concentration of tannin in the wood. However, it creates a unique color and Vintage appearance. The final color will first be achieved after 1-2 months.Instructions
