Danish Oil is a special formulation based on tung oil (also known as Chinese wood oil). The oil is extracted from nuts, similar in size to a brazil nut, growing on species of trees found mainly in China and some areas of South America. After processing, the oil is blended with synthetic resins, to improve hardness, and other vegetable oils. Driers and solvents are added to reduce viscosity, so that the oil may be applied with a rag or brush.

The special ingredients used in Danish Oil penetrate deep into all types of timber, drying to a hard, durable and water resistant seal. Unlike varnishes it does not leave a thick film on the surface which may peel, chip or craze on ageing. The oil dries quickly in 4-6 hours dependant on ambient temperature and humidity, producing a non tacky surface.

As it is a hard drying oil, it may be used as a primer or sealer on bare wood before applying other finishes, if required. Danish Oil may be used on interior and exterior woodwork (ideal for kitchen worktops) and can be overcoated with a varnish or paint at any time, if it is desired to alter the appearance.

Coverage: 1 litre is suitable for 1 large worktop.
