Care – Danish Oil

Danish Oil Care

For Watco Danish Oil. Please read instructions on the back of the product if you are using a different Danish Oil.

APPLICATION

Use only when air (ambient) temperature is between 60- 90°F (16-32°C) and relative humidity is below 85%. Allow for longer dry times during damp and humid conditions. Mix or shake material thoroughly to ensure that any settled pigment is re-dispersed before application. Stir occasionally during use. Apply a test sample on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding with the entire job. Apply one coat of Watco Danish Oil liberally with a brush or clean lint free rag. Allow to penetrate for 15 minutes then remove excess by wiping with a rag in the direction of the grain. If additional coats are needed, reapply allowing an additional 15 minutes penetration. Wipe surface completely dry. Removal of all excess material is essential to ensure proper dry time and proper adhesion of topcoat.

MAINTENANCE

Apply fresh coats as needed to repair surface scratches and to remove minor stains. Burnish affected area with fine steel wool or #220-grit sandpaper, then apply the Watco Danish Oil color originally used to finish the wood. CLEAN UP Application tools or brushes should be cleaned with mineral spirits or paint thinner.

Care – General Finishes High Performance Polyurethane Water Based Topcoat

General Finishes High Performance Polyurethane Water Based Topcoat Care

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

  • Remove dust with a water-dampened cloth. Dust can build up over time and may scratch or dull finishes if not removed regularly. 
  • Remove fingerprints, cooking fumes and smoking residue with mild soap and water. These contaminants will not harm the finish, but they accumulate on surfaces and dull the original luster. 
  • As with all fine furniture finishes, avoid using furniture polish, cleaners or dusting sprays that contain silicone, alcohol, ammonia and anything acidic. Exception: We have successfully cleaned with Clorox wipes for occasional cleanups.
  • Clean up water, alcohol and food spills in a timely manner and use placemats & coasters to protect the finish.
  • Future finishes or touch-ups may not adhere properly or perform as desired over a contaminated surface. Some contaminants, such as silicone, seep through finish into the wood and often cannot be removed.
  • Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity. These can damage furniture and finishes.
