DESCRIPTION:
Designed to highlight and finish timber with a warm colour/character enhancement and attainment of traditional patina results. A pure, natural plant oil product formulated to better reflect the original, heavy-oil mixes that gave “Danish Oil” its renown. Will not go off in can after opening (shelf-life several years providing contaminants are not introduced - decanting prior to use is recommended). Once dry, is both FOOD and CHILD-SAFE.

USES:
Internal (only) woodworking, furniture, joinery and other non-traffic feature timbers such as wall/ceiling panelling and exposed beams. NOT for FLOORING or BENCHTOP use.

SPECIAL NOTES:
a) Prior to choosing/use refer to KEY CONSIDERATIONS at icon on home page (website).
b) This product is not fully ingredient-considerate of wet-areas (bathroom/laundry etc.) ORGANOIL GARDEN FURNITURE OIL, with its anti-fungal oils and bees wax additives, would best address timbers in these locations. Though conduct Danish Oil PREPARATION/APPLICATION procedures (given below) for best finishing results.
c) With ply-wood projects, you are unlikely to achieve quality finishing unless you conduct the final wax polishing advocated (1 coat oil, left to dry, light sand, then 1 or 2 applications of wax as instructed).

APPEARANCE:
Will result in a clear, light wet-look. As an indication, lightly dampen raw wood with water to appreciate oil’s propensity to amplify the inherent colours and woodgrain.

PATINA/SHINE:
With modest preparation and application effort you only achieve a modest, MATT finish. Should you conduct finer preparatory sanding and advised friction-on-application/buffing procedure, high SATIN results are achievable.

STAINING:
This product is a penetrative, clear oil finish and should NOT have other-brand pigments/colourants added to it.

SIZES AVAILABLE:
500ml, 1 ltr, 4 ltr & 10 ltr cans. For availability visit website home page.

PREPARATION:
1. For best quality results on furniture/joinery, further dry-sand through the grits to say 6-1200 (the finer the better!). Commencing grits are relevant to original surface supplied.
2. Ensure timber surfaces are clean and dry – remove sawdust, metal filings etc. from on or near the timber prior to oiling.

3. If access to rear/underside surfaces are available prior to (or after) installation, apply 1 coat to such areas to facilitate all-round moisture protection (preparatory sanding of such areas is not necessary).

APPLICATION:
1. Ensure you have read & understood aforementioned usage, notes and preparation advice first. If skin-sensitive wear oil-impervious gloves. Ensure good ventiliation.
2. Apply with brush or lambswool applicator 2 (two) coats only, & 24 hours apart, (1 only when rejuvenating existing oiled timber). Special note: It would also only be 1 (one) application of oil should you be intending to conduct a Wax-Polishing final finish.
3. (OPTIONAL) For higher patina: with each application, and prior to next step 4, friction-rub oiled surfaces with white, synthetic pad/s
4. It is ESSENTIAL that within ½ to 1 hour of EACH application (and when rejuvenating) you firmly dry-cloth off excess oil/residues to ensure a non-tacky, non dust-collecting surface!
5. Power buffing with lambswool pad (a further 24-48 hrs after last oiling) would again contribute to patina.
6. Now leave finished project to fully cure/air-dry for 5-7 days (avoiding spills or use).

CLEAN UP:
Hot soapy water or Gum Turpentine.

MAINTENANCE:
To clean your oiled timber, or prior to re-application, wipe over surfaces with solution of warm water and methylated spirits – use with synthetic scourer for difficult to remove grime. Re-oil (ONE coat) as necessary. If having wax finished do NOT oil again, wax only.

WAXING:
Should you be seeking the pale satin and tactile response that wax finishes deliver, we recommend the use of ORGANOIL’S Natural Wax & Polish (as instructed), though allow minimum 14 days curing/drying period of oil application to elapse.

BOTTOM LINE:
Given Olde Style DANISH OIL’S parameters of use and exposure, we cannot understand the need for chemicals and synthetics. This product well-addresses your health (chemical exposure, indoor air quality etc.), the timber’s needs, and, with a bit of input from yourself, warm patinas and quality, long-lasting results. Finally, you are not excused from referring to can’s instruction label for other storage, disposal, health and safety considerations.
