Rustins DANO1000 Original Danish Oil 1 Litre - Rich, Natural Glow - Enhances Wood Grain Beautifully, Professional-Grade Finish, Easy DIY Application

Brilliant product.. forget wood stain or paint like products, it’s so easy to apply, very thin so penetrates deeply . I have a slatted garden bench , I gave it two coats top and bottom and still had an inch left in the bottom of the tin ..I think it’s 250 ml , doesn’t seem like a lot but it goes a long way. Of course it’s best suited for new smooth timber. On pure white pine it takes it down a couple of shades, just enough to have the right effect, it shows the grain beautifully . in warm weather it dries very quickly so you can give it two coats in a short space of time, leave s no oily residue. when it rains the water just runs off it , no water penetration. It might need a fresh coat yearly, but it’s so quick and easy to use that wouldn’t be a problem plus it’s cheap enough to buy.

Easy to apply following the instructions. I've used it on large and small woodworking projects with good results. Also on internal house woodwork such as doors, architrave, skirting boards etc. This was of course new bare wood. Two or three coats wiped on is normally enough resulting in a satin finish. A lot easier than paint or varnish and looks great. The beauty of it is it's very forgiving of errors. If you don't get a good finish, eg. dust etc. apply another coat using very fine abrasive,1200 grit or above, extra fine abrasive "scotchbrite" type pads work really well or even wet & dry paper, then wipe off straight away with clean finishing cloth, leaves a really good satin finish. Makes a good primer for bare wood, exterior wood, will harden deteriorated (spoongy) wood- remove all loose flaky bits, soak with the oil applied by brush, repeat as often you think is right, when dry use filler if necessary and then paint. I have been able to restore a lot of old windows, frames & sills etc. much to everyones astonishment.. My advice is to buy the smallest quantity you think suitable for what you're doing as once opened it will keep for a while but long term may become unusable.

I've been using Rustins wood protection products for a long time, even when they have been hard to get because (presumably) of safety or environmental concerns. They have all been very effective, and this one is no exception. I'm using it on new, unfinished spruce furniture. It darkens the wood very slightly, as plain water does, until it dries. The finish is smooth (if you're carefull) and low-gloss.Although this is described as a "oil", in application it behaves more like a clear varnish, although perhaps a bit thinner. If applied carelessly it will run and set into bumps or drips like a varnish wood. It doesn't spread along the wood fibres the way that, say, linseed oil does -- it needs to be applied thoroughly. The instructions say to use a cloth, but I prefer a brush when the workpiece is a fiddly shape -- it's hard to get a cloth into little nooks and crannies. Because the finish is non-colouring (or only very slightly colouring), it can be hard to tell what parts of the work you have covered; but that, of course, will be the same for any clear finish. If you do use a cloth (or even a brush) I would strongly recommend wearing gloves. Although the problem may not be noticed immediately, there is a problem with long-term sensitization of the skin when using products like this.When applied with a brush, outside on a warm day, the finish dries enough to handle in about one hour. I guess a thinner coat applied with a cloth would dry quicker.This product is extremely volatile. The fumes it releases do not smell unpleasant, but they are exactly the kinds of thing (volatile hydrocarbons) one should be wary of inhaling. I know from experience that in a confined, poorly-ventilated space, the fumes cause headaches, dizziness, and stinging eyes. I would suggest working outdoors if at all possible. It that isn't possible, ensure good ventilation, and try to keep your face away from the workpiece. All this information is on the tin, but there is a tendency for manufacturers to over-state their safety warnings. I'm pretty sure that the safety warnings are not over-stated in this case. You can't buy this stuff -- so far as I can tell -- from mainstream DIY outlets like Wickes, and I guess there's a reason for that.

The media could not be loaded. Purchased this oil after lot of research as i doing this for first time after we moved to our new property. Just followed the instructions and it is so simple to do it. The worktop looks like new. Great product. Five stars !

I find this Danish Oil really easy to use. Applied with a lint free cloth, I find I get good coverage without any runs or drips. I applied 3 coats to the shoe rack, shown in the picture, allowing each coat to dry between applications (in warm weather about 2-3 hours) and sanding with with a P1200 emery pad between coats 2 and 3. I finished off with a clear beeswax polish after leaving the Danish Oil to harden off overnight. The result is a good protective coating with a nice sheen, rather than a high gloss. Very pleased.

I bought this to cover up scratches and imperfections on an old room divider that I bought from a charity shop. It worked a treat. Lovely shine. Made the unit look like new

Bought to finish of some Oak shelving I had bought. Very easy to apply once I had managed to open the cannister which is a bit tricky. Gave me a rich and deep finish. Took a bit longer to dry than stated but that's ok with me.

Really lovely product. Have used this on my garden furniture, the furniture now looks fabulous and is waterproof. Although you don't get much oil for your money, it's well worth the cost. I've ordered more so that I can treat the rest of my garden furniture.
