Rustins – Original Danish Oil – Clear – 250ml 500ml & 1L

Rustins Original Danish Oil.

Rustins Original Danish Oil is a blend of oils, resins and driers, formulated to produce an attractive and durable finish.
The finish is Satin.

Intended Use:
Primarily for interior bare wood and joinery projects.
Before using on veneered doors and timber, refer to the furniture manufacturers instructions as some coating products are not suitable for this application.

 Original Danish oil may be used outside as a primer-sealer under exterior coatings or alone as a high maintenance finish where it will require additional coats and regular maintenance.

Special Features:
Danish Oil brings out the natural beauty of wood and veneered surfaces, and gives a natural open-grained low lustre finish.
It’s easy to maintain.
It also conforms to the Articles concerning contact with Food Regulations and Safety of Toys Regulations BS EN 71 Part 3 1995.

Preparation:
Before using the Original Danish Oil, the bare wood must be clean, smooth, dry and free from wax, dust and contaminants so as not to spoil the finished look.
Remove wax or surface oil from oily timbers such as Teak and Iroko by scrubbing with white spirit, then wipe away whilst still wet with clean rags.
Remove existing stubborn paint and varnishes with Rustins Strypit Paint and Varnish Stripper.
Bare wood may be dyed before coating with Rustins Wood Dye.
But, do not apply with Knotting.

Application:
Apply the Danish Oil liberally with a clean rag or brush, being careful to wipe off the surplus oil after a few minutes.
Nibs may be removed from the final coat by applying oil with a scouring pad. Rub in the direction of the grain, then wiping away the surplus with clean rags or paper kitchen towels.

Coats – 3 coats should be applied to bare wood.
Drying Time – 4-6 hours depending on temperature and humidity.
Re-coating Time – Re-coat once the previous coat is dry.
Application Temp. – Ideally 15-25°C, do not apply below 5°C.
Coverage –  Approximately 14sq.m per litre per coat depending on the absorbency of the wood.
Maintenance – Periodic re-oiling is required.
Clean surfaces before re-oiling using White Spirit.
Settlement – STIR WELL BEFORE USE or product will dry to a gloss finish.
Shelf-life/Storage – Danish Oil may last many years if stored in original, tightly closed container in normal cool, dry conditions.
Note though: once opened it is recommended that the oil is transferred to a smaller metal/glass container as it is used up to minimise the airspace over the oil as this can cause the formation of a solid gel.

Hazards – Flammable.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin, therefore, wearing gloves may be preferable.
Use in a well ventilated area, leaving windows open to allow the air to circulate would be prefeable..
Make sure it is kept out of reach of children.
Keep away from sources of ignition – no smoking.
Keep container tightly closed.

Clean-Up – Clean brushes with White Spirit whilst wet.
