Denibbing is the removal of \u201cnibs\u201d and imperfections from your finish, and it should be performed between each coat of any finish applied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denibbing Varnishes, Paints and Surface Finishes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago I put \n<a title=\"Manns Extra Tough Floor Varnish\" href=\"\/product\/manns-extra-tough-floor-varnish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nManns Extra Tough Floor Varnish<\/a> on these boards, in this video \n<a title=\"Should You Use Oil or Varnish to Finish Your Flooring?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Umn0CgJpdSg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nhere<\/a>. When you do apply a surface finish, such as a varnish or a paint it&#8217;s only natural you are going to get imperfections such as brush strokes and bumps or areas that have slightly more finish than others<\/p>\n<p>To remove these areas what you need to use is a \n<a title=\"Manns Flexible Sanding Pads\" href=\"\/product\/woodleys-flexible-sanding-pads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nManns Flexible Sanding Pads<\/a>, I&#8217;ll be using one in p180. Just work across your project working with the grain, applying just enough pressure to smooth it out the finish. Because you are roughing up the surface as well it&#8217;ll improve the adhesion of any further coats too. Also once you&#8217;ve finished denibbing, give the area a wipe over with a Manns Microfibre Cloth as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denibbing Oil&#8217;s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I treated this piece of Beech with \n<a title=\"Manns Top Oil\" href=\"\/product\/manns-premier-top-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nManns Top Oil<\/a> in this video \n<a title=\"Treating Kitchen Worktops and Table Tops - Mann's Top Oil Product Test.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QKbVn4k_djI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nhere<\/a>, and I&#8217;m going to use it to show you how to denib oils. Wood is a naturally porous material, and when you put oils on wood, they soak in, giving excellent liquid repellency and protection while still maintaining a natural look and feel. When you apply an oil on you want to remove all excess as soon as you can, and then you want to help open some of those pores again by denibbing, use a \n<a title=\"Manns Finishing Pads\" href=\"\/product\/woodleys-finishing-pads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\nManns Finishing Pads<\/a> to do this. Denib just like I did with the varnish, follow the grain work across the<br \/>project, try not to apply too much pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Denibbing is all about the feel. Your project should feel smooth. If it doesn&#8217;t that means that more denibbing is required, and after that if it still isnt smooth then it probably hasn&#8217;t been as sanded as well as it should of. I know of course if you&#8217;ve been watching my video\u2019s that won&#8217;t be the case.<\/p>\n<p>A full list of products featured and used in this video is available in the description on YouTube, also if you have any questions or would like some advice feel free to \n<a href=\"\/info\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nget in touch<\/a> by phoning the phone number or emailing the email address on screen now.
