Priming treatment to preserve the natural light colours of softwood.

WOCA Softwood Lye is a specialist primer designed to minimise yellowing and enhance the grain of unfinished or newly sanded softwood surfaces. Ideal for floors, stairs, furniture, and panels, it creates a beautiful whitewashed finish on pine, spruce, and pitch pine, while providing a unique antique grey‑brown patina on larch. This pre‑treatment brings out the best natural qualities of softwood and sets the foundation for a bright, Scandinavian‑style aesthetic.

Key benefits:

  • Preserves the light tones of softwood and prevents yellowing
  • Enhances the natural grain structure
  • Creates a whitewash finish on most softwoods
  • Produces an antique grey/brown patina on larch
  • Contains white pigments for a softened effect
  • Prepares surfaces for oil or soap finishing

Suitable for:

  • Softwoods such as pine, spruce and pitch pine
  • Larch (for an antique grey/brown look)
  • Interior applications: floors, stairs, panels, furniture

Not suitable for:

  • Hardwood species (use WOCA Wood Lye instead)

Product details:

  • Formulation: contains white pigments
  • Coverage: approx. 8–10 m² per litre
  • Final colour tone develops fully after 1–2 months
  • Requires after‑treatment with WOCA Oil or WOCA Wood Soap to protect and complete the finish

How to use:

  1. Ensure wood is sanded, clean, and completely dry.
  2. Stir well and apply evenly with a brush or pad applicator.
  3. Allow to dry thoroughly.
  4. Finish with WOCA Master Oil, Diamond Oil Active or Wood Soap to seal and protect the surface.

Why choose WOCA Softwood Lye?
Softwood is prone to yellowing and uneven ageing — WOCA Softwood Lye stops that process early, locking in light, natural tones without harsh bleaching. The result is a timeless, whitewashed Nordic look or, on larch, a unique weathered patina.

Size: 2.5 L
