Furniture Clinic Danish Oil for Wood - Premium Oil to Enhance The Natural Beauty of Oak, Pine & More - Seal & Protect for a Satin Finish. 500ml

Product Information

It is true that danish oil can cause delamination because it penetrates deep into the door hits the glue and causes the delamination. Whilst you are oiling, you do not want the hard-wax (resin) sitting freely on the surface, living a life of its own. F (7-16°C) is at the low end of viable temps for finishing* so more time should definitely be allocated. The reason that it has 'stood the test of time' is that until a few years ago there wasn't anything else like epoxy finishes or varnish so people used a delicate finish which was easy to apply rather than nothing at all.

Danish oil will feed, enhance and protect both hard and soft woods – penetrating the wood bringing out the natural grain of the timber. It’s not a film finish - it dries and hardens in the wood, not on the wood so your work piece will not have a ‘plastic’ look.As I already mentioned, Danish oil is extremely easy to use, and the only problem you may encounter is sticky oil that isn’t drying. The idea of this method is to keep the wood surface’wet’ with Danish Oil for at least an hour until it has fully absorbed enough oil to provide a natural protective coating from deep within the wood. Allow to penetrate for 10-20 minutes before wiping off any excess with a lint-free cloth in the direction of the grain. The upcycling and restoration of all things leather, fabric and wood keeps Furniture Clinic at the heart of the circular economy. Not only will the Danish Oil protect oak, but it really brings out the grain, enhancing the natural look and feel of all items made from oak.

You may be able to just buff the surface to a uniform sheen with a cloth and plenty of elbow grease. I had to dilute the first coat with white spirit (a bit like a mist coat with paint) , then two coats full strength.Many pros err on the side of caution and wait a month or more, when possible, after the last coat has gone on.

Although it is always advisable to sand along the grain, you can go across the grain for a couple of strokes to dig into the wood and remove a scratch or an imperfection. Since we are using a non-abrasive pad to apply and remove all excess, we have already removed any raised grain and have removed any rough patches from the surface. Most knocks, minor scuffs, cup rings and stains from spills such as wine can be removed by gently sanding the affected area and re-applying more Danish oil, which will blend in with the original finish. The finishes under test are: Treatex Hardwax Oil Traditional - Clear Satin, Blanchon Hard Waxoil - Natural , Osmo Polyx-Oil - Satin-matt , Fiddes Hard Wax Oil - Clear Satin and the Liberon Floor Varnish - Clear Satin. According to some very senior people here, if its white it has lost most of its goodness (no, I dont which goodness).Similarly, you would need to sand (groom) your worktop to make sure it is consistent overall in an optimal condition for oiling. After the fifth coat of oil, your wooden worktop should look professionally finished with a smooth feel on the surface and a satin effect. Thought I'd better test it first so tried the danish oil on some oak and bubinga tree decorations I made from offcuts. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits of applying Danish Oil to oak, what it looks like when it is applied, and other uses. Best of all, when the finish starts to wear away after a few years or lots of use, you can reapply a coat of Danish oil, and it will look as good as new again.
