Any surface, particularly for reclaimed thirsty wood, high-wear furniture, wood floors, butcher block countertops, cutting boards, cabinetry, interior doors, wood trim, stairs and railings, tool handles and any project requiring deep penetrating protection with maximum durability.
Why Choose Concentrated Finishing Oil
Concentrated Finishing Oil contains a higher ratio of natural oils to solvent compared to our Original Finish. This makes it ideal for dense hardwoods that benefit from extra penetration, high-traffic areas that need maximum protection, and projects where you want to build up a more substantial finish. The concentrated formula means fewer coats are needed to achieve deep protection.
Application Instructions
Preparation:
- Wood must be clean, dry, and bare (no previous finish)
- Sand to 150-220 grit for optimal results
- Remove all sanding dust with tack cloth or vacuum
- Work in well-ventilated area at 65-75°F
Application Steps:
-
Apply Liberally: Using a brush, cloth, or applicator pad, apply a generous coat
-
Work Into Wood: Rub the finish into the wood grain, ensuring complete saturation
-
Allow Penetration: Let oil soak in for 15-20 minutes
-
Wipe Off Excess: Using clean, lint-free cloths, wipe off ALL excess oil until surface feels dry
-
Drying Time: Allow 24 hours between coats
-
Apply 2-4 Coats: Build up protection with multiple thin coats
-
Light Sanding (Optional): Lightly sand with 320-400 grit between coats for ultra-smooth finish
-
Final Cure: Allow 7-10 days for complete cure before heavy use
Coverage
Approximately 400-500 square feet per gallon on first coat. Due to higher oil concentration, coverage may be slightly less than Original Finish. Subsequent coats will cover more area as wood becomes saturated.
Drying & Curing
Touch Dry: 24 hours between coats
Light Use: 3-4 days after final coat
Full Cure: 7-15 days for complete hardness
Food Safe: 30 days for food-contact surfaces
Drying times vary with temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Warmer temperatures and good air circulation speed curing.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- More thin coats are better than fewer thick coats
- Always wipe off excess oil - leaving oil on the surface causes sticky finish
- Work in sections on large projects to ensure proper wiping time
- Dense hardwoods benefit most from the concentrated formula
- The finish will continue to harden and deepen over the first 30 days
- Buff with soft cloth after final cure for enhanced luster
