Furthermore, it doesn't offer UV protection, so the wood could deteriorate over time if it is exposed to sunlight. Currently the Blachon Hard Waxoil - Colours is available in a number of shades: Light Oak, Golden Oak, Smoked Oak, Walnut, Black, Graphite, Metallic Grey, Light Grey, White Grey, White, Rough Timber, Old White and Weathered Wood. Leave the oil to penetrate for two to three minutes and wipe away any excess oil with a Lint Free Cloth. This protects and enhances the natural beauty of your wood and does not leave a surface film that can chip or scratch with use.

I'm not sure though if there would be any reaction between stain/varnish and oil, you need to speak to the manufacturer. Unlike Osmo, with Danish Oil, you want to have oil sitting on the surface of the worktop before you wipe off all the excess.This protects and enhances the natural beauty of your wood and does not leave a surface film that is chip or scratch with use. If the excess is not removed and the surface becomes sticky, wipe with white spirit to remove the sticky film and allow to dry before continuing. We recommend that wood should not be subject to heavy use, and any water or other spills should be wiped off immediately during this time. Oily rags can spontaneously combust, so it’s vital to spread them out flat and let them completely dry (ideally somewhere outside) before throwing them away. Im far from an expert, and where were at now, even though we got away with it, I think thats all it was - We were lucky.

After the first and/or second coats have dried, any nibs or raised grain can be removed with a fine grade sandpaper or wire wool (000 or 0000 grade). Briefly, the dry time between coats is just enough to make putting on the next coat work well but the product is likely not fully dry by then and it's certainly not cured (the part of the drying process that occurs after the drying phase). Once the last coat of Danish Oil has dried and you have smoothed over the surface with a De-nibbing Pad. Imagine going to a hairdresser; the barber would never immediately jump into cutting your hair, but they would first brush your hair and ensure it is not all tangled up. As a what to do now, she says a solvent based varnish would be OK to go over the danish oil but after a rub down with white spirit as per previous comments.I assume as it's got a slight sheen the surface must be massively smoother than my crappy xmas trees so maybe I'll have better success with the wax this time. Our Wood Oil Kit contains all the products and accessories previously mentioned to correctly clean, prepare and oil all oak surfaces.

And, if you do have a small scratch, you can easily apply another coat of Danish oil to make it disappear. It provides excellent water resistance, helping to prevent the oak from staining and reduces marks on the surface, making the oak easier to clean and maintain.Woodworking is your worldwide home for discussion of all things woodworking, carpentry, fine furniture, power tools, hand tools, and just about anything else about making - anything - from trees! Remove any wax or varnish finishes and stain the wood with Libéron Palette Wood Dye before oiling if required. A Foam Brush absorbs the product and allows you to liberally and evenly distribute the oil on to the surface of the wood. For maintenance of new or used items, simply re-oiling once a year is sufficient for year-round protection. I'm hoping to get a bottle of sanding sealer for xmas, as there is a small chance that may win me over to waxes by making the wood smoother, but I'm not too hopeful.

With under-mount sinks, an additional coat of oil will be required to the edges and around the sink area. For a sideboard that'll just sit there and look pretty just a couple of days would usually be sufficient.

Before applying finish, it is important to remove as much of the dust as possible from the work piece. It is true that danish oil can cause delamination because it penetrates deep into the door hits the glue and causes the delamination. So the bottom line is be guided purely by aesthetic or practical considerations, like the degree of gloss or ease of applications.
