Tung Oil

As one of the leading Danish oil suppliers in the UK, our danish oil is made with nothing but the finest ingredients. The main component is Linseed Oil. This is blended with other high quality resins and oils, such as Tung oil, and is then mixed with a small amount of solvent to improve the drying time, performance and qualities of the danish oil.

What can Danish Oil be used on?
Danish oil is a very versatile product that can be used on any number of wood types, such as oak, pine, mahogany or beech and can be applied to any surface requiring an oil finish including; doors, garden furniture, kitchen worktops, food surfaces, childrens toys and hard of soft wood flooring.

Why use Danish Oil?
When you apply a Varnish, Lacquer or paint onto wood it forms a protective film on the surface, which, if damaged or applied incorrectly can peel and flake. Danish oil however, penetrates into the surface grain and thereby keeps the wood supple whilst adding to its natural strength.

For maximum performance danish wood oil should be applied as 3 medium coats to your wood surface, these will further improve the look and will continue to feed the wood keeping the surface water repellent. The frequency of subsequent coats depends on the density of the timber but as a guideline, further coats of danish oil should be applied once a year.

There are many ways to apply danish oil and no skill required. The most popular method is by cloth so that you can key in and wipe off the excess oil at the same time. A good quality paint brush is particularly useful when working with turned and moulded areas or when you need to apply a straight edge as with skirting boards. Danish wood oil is also compatible with virtually any type of spray equipment.

For a smooth, silky finish, lightly sand the danish oil between coats with very fine sandpaper or wire wool.
