Applying Danish Oil to a Vivaldi Leaf Hall Table
Detailed care and maintenance instructions are provided with each
work along with our phone number and email.
Finishes and Maintenance
-
For natural woods, we use Watco® Danish Oil and maintained with Watco® Rejuvenating Oil.
-
Danish oil finishes age gracefully and develops a beautiful patina of wear over time when oiled a couple of times a year.
-
Additionally, it is easier to repair dings and dents.
-
We recommend oiling the work at least twice a year with Watco® Rejuvenation Oil.
-
We also do Polyurethane and Lacquer finishes as specified.
Watco® Rejuvenating Oil Maintenance
-
Put a small amount of oil on a soft cotton cloth.
-
Let sit for 10 minutes and thoroughly wipe off all excess.
-
After thoroughly wiping off the excess, check every couple of hours for oil “perspiration spots” and wipe off immediately.
-
Very fine steel wool (0000 or 4/0) can be used in place of rags.
CAUTION!
Proper Disposal of Oily Rags and Steel Wool
-
Rags, steel wool or other articles soaked with Danish oil may spontaneously combust if improperly discarded.
-
Take all rags/steel wool or any other material with Danish oil on it and place in a plastic bag similar to the ones received at box stores.
-
Fill the plastic bag containing the rags with water until the rags/steel wool are immersed in the water. Push all the air out and tie the bag in a knot.
-
Take that bag containing the wet rags/steel wool and place in another plastic bag. Push all the air out of the bag and tie that bag in a knot.
-
Discard outside in a metal container.
