Overview

Manns Premier Top Oil is a premium grade worktop oil that is suitable for a wide range of wooden worktops, counters, table tops and food preparation surfaces including chopping board and blocks. Made from a blend of natural ingredients, it is food and child safe when dry and is quick and easy to apply, maintain and patch repair if required.

Prefer an ultra tough varnish, suitable for kitchen worktops? Try Manns Extra Tough Interior Varnish, a water-based, single component varnish
For a commercial grade varnish suitable for restaurant tables and worktops, consider Manns Trade Extra Tough Pro Lacquer, a two component, water-based varnish

Preparation

Ensure that kitchen worktops and table tops to be oiled are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

Old Worktops and Tables

Existing coatings such as wax or varnish must be removed by sanding or with a wax, varnish or paint remover
Previously oiled surfaces can be lightly sanded or cleaned with a cloth dampened with white spirit
Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner or slightly damp, soft cloth
Fill any gaps or splits in the wood surface with Manns Trade Mix and Fill or other suitable wood filler
Final sand should be no finer than P120 to P150 grit to allow oil penetration

New Worktops and Tables

New oak and softwood worktops should need no preparation prior to oiling. If they have been oiled by the manufacturer, the wood may only be ready to receive a very thin maintenance coat of Manns Premier Top Oil. Some types of exotic hardwoods are naturally oily and may not require oiling for several months.

Staining Worktops

If desired, softwood and hardwood worktops can be stained prior to oiling with Manns Trade Light Fast Wood Stain, a solvent-based wood stain available in a range of attractive colours.

Please note: The use of water-based stains is not recommended in high moisture or humidity environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Application

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Stir the worktop oil thoroughly before and periodically during use
For best results, apply the top oil with a good quality natural bristle brush, microfibre or other lint-free cloth
Apply thinly, working in the direction of the wood grain, coating one manageable area at a time
Wipe off any excess oil with an uncoloured (white), lint-free or microfibre cloth
Denib or lightly sand between coats to aid adhesion
Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner or soft lint-free cloth
Normal application is 2 thin coats but 3 may be required if the wood is particularly dry
Allow 4 hours drying between coats

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

Wooden worktops and table top surfaces can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly dampened soft, lint-free cloth. Stubborn scuffs and marks can be cleaned with a dedicated, pH balanced wood cleaner.

Wooden surfaces should never be cleaned with household detergents and cleaners as these can degrade or strip the finish over time.

Maintenance

To maintain the finish, simply apply a thin maintenance coat of Manns Premier Top Oil as and when required, following the 'application' instructions above.

Repair

To repair any marks in the finish, lightly sand the damaged area and apply a thin coat of Top Oil to the affected area for an invisible repair.

Fantastic

Transformed my kitchen worktop, thanks for YouTube info

Easy to work with, pleasing results

Happy with Wood Finishes Direct once again. Good products and easy transaction. Manns Top Oil is easy to work with. I stripped back our old pine dining table and applied 3 coats of the oil. I’m pleased with how easy it was to work with compared to varnish, and it looks great. Time will tell as to how long it stays looking good but as it’s so easy to work with that it won’t be a daunting job to give it another coat next year if needed. Would definitely buy Manns Top Oil again. Since doing the dining table I’ve also rubbed down the coffee table and my dresser and am giving them the same treatment. Am wondering what else I can use it on around here!

Good results

I found this easy to apply and the finish I achieved was great. I don't know yet how hard-wearing this is, but the instructions seem to say that repairs are straightforward. All in all I'm very happy

Easy to apply

I needed to re oil my 120 year old, well used kitchen table. I watched a video on WFD that demonstrates this product. I followed the instructions to a T and the table finish looks and feels great. Time will tell if the finish lasts.

Simply the most elegant of any mat finish for wood

I use this on any interior wood work. Window sills doors etc. I have even used it over mat varnish which is ugly until this is applied. It just gives the most homogenous and silky egg shell mat I have found. I use it on dark woods and oak or pine staied to look aged or dark. I will purchase again. I find a small mole skin roller the best for large flat area.

The best worktop oil

Absolutely the best oil. Easy to apply, top notch finish and full protection for your worktop. I’ve been using it for 12 years. Just give my worktops a light sand and fresh coat every year now to keep them looking their best. Not water staining or food marking.

Very pleased

I've tried a few products on my kitchen worktops over the years. I thought I'd give this one a go and very pleased. Easy to apply, hardly any smell and with this product you can recoat in 4 hours. It said to give 2 coats, but I did 4. Not sure how it will stand the test of time, but I still have enough for 2 or 3 more coats, if need be.

Restored wooden kitchen bench

Originally, I thought it was going to be a mission to restore the kitchen workbench. After watching the video from WFD, I gave it a go, and it came out really well. Thanks for making an informative video that didn't require me to be a pro to get this restored.

Beautiful product to work with

After watching the great instructional video, and receiving advice via email, I am delighted with the final result. Great product and lovely service

Excellent

Bought following seeing the video demo. V easy to apply and a vey nice finish after 2 coats. Good seal and so far no marks from absorbtion

Does what it says on the tin!

Having used the same oil for a number of years on my solid wood kitchen benches and not being quite happy with the results, i decided to try Manns Premier Top Oil and so glad that i did WOW what a result, after following all the instructions and watching the video tutorial i got the results that i have been looking for, only thing is I wish that i had known about this oil a lot sooner. I will definitely be purchasing again. Thank you WFD

Does what it says on the tin!!!

Fantastic product. Easy to apply. Great finish. Recommended

Was easier to apply than osmo oil.

I don't think it is even fully cured yet but already seems to be offering better protection than osmo oil. I use the same technique with a scouring sponge of application rather than a brush gave it two coats. Has more odour while you're using it but clear is very quickly and thus far seems to be offering better protection than I have had in years. The finish looks exactly the same without a shine that I would dislike. I use this product after having tried to use hemp oil which after three coats and 48 hours in between each took it taking ages to dry ended up with a white ring on the first cup that was put down on it; Nightmare! Therefore I had to sand back again and recoat with Manns, my situation might be unique so I may not be the only person to have made this mistake. Thankfully I was able to reuse my kitchen again in about 36 hours. Manns saved the day.

Great oil.

Easy to apply and very effective. Does what it says…

This product has been used on my kitchen worksurfaces

After a quick rub down the top oil is easy to apply and effectively renews the surface and provides protection for months. Very effective and over time cost effective.

Great product

Have just applied Manns Premier top oil to my kitchen work top’s which were well over due. Followed instructions and recommendations from video and have had excellent results. Do ventilate room after application.

Easy to use, gives a lovely natural look to my kitchen worktops.

Folow the instructions, can't go wrong. Make sure to let it dry fully between coats. Give a lovely durable finish

Great quality easy to apply with a super smooth finish!

Super product great finish transformed our kitchen surfaces

Good experiencewith this.

Bought this tonredo our kitchen worktops. Found it very easy to use,and even though I appliedit with a brush there are no brush marks once dry. Worktops now look like new.

Easy to apply, great finish!

Bought this product for our kitchen worktops which had faded ver the year or so we’ve had them. Manns Premier Top Oil is very easy to use, covers well and gives a very nice finish which shows off the grain of the wood beautifully.

Works well

Does what it says on the tin. Easy to apply, gives a good long lasting finish

Excellent service with good advice.

An excellent product, which when used was lovely to put on the wood, with an excellent finish.

Great

Really happy with the finish it gives. Used for wooden food preparation area. Does take a while to dry and does smell. But all good

Easy to apply with a great finish

Used this product on some oak veneer doors and was impressed with how easy it was to apply and the finish was just what we wanted.

Excellent quality, great finish and good value.

Provides a high quality finish that revives and transforms work tops and doors.

Excellent quality easy to use

Quality product, easy to use, revives wood with a great finish.

Easy, consistent, beautiful results

Easy to apply, with only gentle de-nibing between coats, smells a bit as would any solvent based product but really brings out the luster in wood and seems to offer good protection without the glassy/plasticness of varnish. I have bought this product twice and so far its effect on teak,oak, pine and beech have been just lovely. It isn't stained but it does slightly darken bare wood and added a touch of warmth.

Excellent product

Top quality wood oil , easy to apply and quick drying. Definitely would recommend .

I really liked it.

It was so easy to apply. Absorbed well into this smallish oak table frame and legs, dried well and left an even finish. All in all would recommend it.
