What is it?       Tried & True Danish Oil is pure, highly refined Polymerized Linseed Oil. It is 100% solids, solvent free, and contains no heavy metal driers.


What do I use it on? Danish Oil is a good choice for any wood work where you want a satin finish. This would include cabinets, paneling, and furniture. Use Danish Oil on kitchenware, cutting boards, and children's furniture, since it is food safe and non-toxic. Because Danish Oil is inexpensive and the coverage is 600 sq. ft./gallon, it is very economical to use.


How do I use it? Apply a thin coat.(This is not a flood and soak finish!). Allow the Danish Oil to penetrate for about 5 minutes. Wipe off excess. Buff dry. Recoat in 24 hours. Consult the label for instructions on disposing wiping cloths.


How many coats do I use? Two or three coats is typical for most applications. Danish Oil will build up more protection after 3 coats, but it will not increase sheen.


How do I maintain it? Polymerized Linseed Oil gets harder and more durable with age. Buff occasionally with a soft cloth.
