  • If you have questions, please read all the comments. They're not just nonsense, I promise. There are lots of relevant questions which I've answered to the best of my knowledge. Thanks!
    Also, please be aware that this the tin states this oil is not suitable for use on oak. I've used it plenty on oak with good results and can't fathom why they recommend against it, but if you choose to do so I take no responsibility for the results!

    Thanks for this, the 'kitchen worktop' was the bit I was waiting for. Will try it on current kitchen oak tops this time as they need replacing, but if this then proves to be up to the job, I will switch from Howdens expensive and difficult to apply worktop oil.

    Great video, just went and bought myself a couple of tins than are on offer when buying two of them. Really finished my mdf mfr well, nicely darkens the wood and does a good job at protecting it from everyday use. Currently thinking of a good product to finish it a little more. I did use a little bit of wet dry sandpaper and some standard polish on final pass to clean up any little bits left as per the method used by the Suffolk Latch Company when they treated an oak door with danish oil. Both really good directions thank you

    That's what I'll be buying next! As I use so little I went with Liberon at £10+ but if this is just as good and has that reduced gymming up feature it sounds like a win!
    I've just used a load of clear decking oil on my new deck and it's worked well. £20 for 5l instead of £50+ for Ronseal.

    A sensible priced tin of Danish oil, and I'm grateful for the advice. I tend to put two or three coats of Danish oil on - rubbing gently between coats with fine steel wool, as it seems to last longer on wood outdoors. By the way, I think I can hear your misses calling in the background.

    • @woodthaticould4432
      @woodthaticould4432  4 роки тому

      Hi, I haven't used lye, but I imagine you would oil after treatment. Don't take my word for it though. Danish us ok on floors, but not hard enough for high traffic with shoes on, and you have to be careful what you wash it with, everyday floor cleaners will strip the oil out pretty fast. Bona do a range of wax oils, they also do a white tinted one which looks really good when applied right. Good luck!

    • @woodthaticould4432

      I would just apply carefully and not worry too much. You can use a new Stanley blade or similar to remove any oil from the glass when it has dried, first scoring around the outside of each pane, then using the blade on its edge as a scraper. Or mask! It might be time consuming to mask, but it's technically much easier. Good luck!

      Hi Mark, there's really no such thing as too many coats of Danish, but I would say that many isn't strictly necessary on something that isn't going to get wet or be repeatedly washed, such as a kitchen worktop. I would say do at least 2, and as many as you can be bothered with. The great thing about Danish is that if you think it needs more, you just give it a gentle sanding with 240 grit or higher, then add more coats.

    Hi, Thanks for this video. I’m going to sand the wooden worktops that are in my kitchen & after watching your video I’m going to use this Danish oil from screwfix. My question is when applying the oil to the worktops what should I use? I’ve seen so many different videos with cloths, a sponge the one with the green rough side (obvs just using the sponge) a paintbrush. I’m so very confused. I’m wanting whatever is easiest as I’ve never done this before & im terrified of messing my worktops up. I’ve sanded loads of times so I’m confident with that. Also another question is. I don’t really want a high gloss finish or a mega shine on the worktops. Will this Danish oil leave one or does it not give too much of a shine off? Thank you in advance. Great video 😊

    • @woodthaticould4432
      @woodthaticould4432  4 роки тому +2

      Don't worry, danish us pretty much foolproof! On a worktop, I would pour out a good glug and spread it around with paper towel. Or you could use a paintbrush. Or a sponge! My point is it makes no difference to the final finish what you apply with, so use what feels most comfortable to you. I use paper towel to wipe off after leaving for 10 mins or so (maybe less in this weather!). The only way you can mess it up is to leave a puddle of oil to dry out, which will turn into a sticky mess and need scraping or sanding off. Danish leaves a fairly Matt finish unless you polish it. Good luck!

      Wood That I Could thank you for your response apologies for the delay, it was treated but 10-15 years ago. The door had been neglected and no further treatment has been put on, it was dirty so I washed the door first with some netrol then sanded a couple of times, first with an 80 grit then a 120 grit. The door was clean, smooth and looked in good condition. It was only when I added the danish oil that the finish started to look patchy. So you think it still could be the case that I haven’t sanded the old treatment off enough?

    • @woodthaticould4432
      @woodthaticould4432  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, if it didn't look patchy after sanding I would suspect the original finish (probably varnish?) . It stops the oil sinking in and produces a different colour. You might also have noticed those patches weren't as thirsty as the rest of it, ie the oil didn't sink in as much or as fast. That said, maybe it was always patchy? Could you live with it?? I've saved a lot of work when refurbing things by just accepting that they aren't perfect, but if you're getting a solid timber door for a few hours work and some inexpensive materials, maybe that's ok? Good luck!!

    Hi Thanks for a good video.I have a 60 year old oak garden bench that I am stripping back to bare wood I am going to try some oxalic acid in an attempt to reduce the black water marks here and there. Initially I was drawn to using Tung oil but after reading several articles and yt videos I am now totally confused. I would appreciate your views on Tung oil v Danish oil. Say good morning to the cows

    • @woodthaticould4432
      @woodthaticould4432  3 роки тому +1

      With regards to how they will react with oxalic acid, I have no idea. Just generally, I believe Danish will leave more of a 'skin' whereas tung sinks in and doesn't leave much on the surface. I think Danish would be cheaper than tung. Either will protect your bench from the elements, don't sweat it too much! Perhaps somebody with direct experience of one vs the other will weigh in?.....

      I imagine it could be if you rough it up first, but it doesn't need sealing. If it's already been oiled but need refinishing, I would just reapply oil. Unless it's in a situation where Danish was a bad idea in the first place in which case sand it back and Varnish away. It is just my opinion that this would work, I've never tried it.

      I just mean that when you say 'stain', it could be en exterior stain that protects against rain, in which case the Danish wouldn't penetrate as the stain has made a barrier. Best practice here is to stain a bit if scrap, then see if the Danish sinks in and gives a good finish.

      I've had it in mine under the hob for 3 years and it's still looking good although the sink is on laminated worktop. The sink is always the bit that will need re doing first and how long it lasts depends on how you look after it. If you are likely to leave it wet all the time it will suffer. The worst is leaving an object on the wet surface so it can't dry, it really doesn't like that. Tldr: if you're going to wipe up after you use the sink, a few years at least. If you're a water spilling cup leaving cloth shunning monster, maybe a year if you're lucky. That said, it is MUCH easier to recoat Danish than poly.

I don't know the science, but I would think the vast bulk of the 'bad stuff' would be gone by then. I mean like 99.99%. The solvents are really only there to allow application and facilitate curing. Plus, health and safety laws being what they are, there's no way they'd be able to sell something that remains hazardous for 4 days after its applied. Let the bub smash their toys against your newly finished floor!

      That's a question for sure! I wouldn't use Danish for a chopping board. To be honest I wouldn't really treat a wooden chopping board, it's going to get washed in such harsh detergent that it'll strip the oil right out of it anyway. Coconut oil is a good choice, or anything that is food safe that won't go rancid (so not olive, veg, sunflower etc) but does it need treating at all? There have been studies showing that wood is more hygienic than plastic, Google it. But yeah, Danish is not the right option.

      Yes, it can, but cedar doesn't necessarily need any treatment. It goes a lovely silver colour if left untreated.

Danish will end up looking weathered and need a sand and recoat, linseed you can just blodge on more. Good luck!
