Rustins Original Danish Oil

Rustins Danish Oil is a unique blend developed to enhance and protect all types of wood with ease. Unlike traditional Teak Oil, it contains special ingredients that provide a soft, low-lustre finish, highlighting the natural beauty and grain of the timber. This easy-to-apply wipe-on oil penetrates deeply, offering a natural, open-grained appearance that’s especially effective on turned woodwork. Suitable for interior wood surfaces, it's ideal for furniture, woodturning, and food-contact items like kitchenware. Conforming to both The Articles in Contact with Food Regulations and Toys (Safety) Regulations 1995, BS EN71 Part 3, it’s a safe and versatile choice for projects throughout the home.

• Unique and original formulation by Rustins
• Easy-to-use wipe-on finish for smooth application
• Produces a soft, satin, low-lustre finish
• Durable and long-lasting, protecting while enhancing wood
• Complies with The Articles in Contact with Food Regulations and Toys (Safety) Regulations 1995, BS:EN71 Part 3

Rustins Danish Oil is a carefully balanced blend of oils, resins, and driers, engineered to produce an attractive, natural-looking finish that enhances the warmth and character of wood.

A simple wipe-on application leaves your wood beautifully finished, nourished, and softly lustrous.

Proper surface preparation ensures the best results when using Rustins Danish Oil.

• Ensure the wood is clean, smooth, dry, and free from dust, wax, or other contaminants.
• For woods such as Teak or Iroko, scrub the surface with white spirit or Rustins Surface Cleaner using a scouring pad.
• Wipe away the residue while still wet using clean rags.
• Any existing paint or varnish should be removed with Rustins Strypit Paint and Varnish Stripper.
• Bare wood may be treated with Rustins Wood Dye before applying Danish Oil to achieve the desired colour.
• Avoid applying Danish Oil over surfaces treated with knotting.
• Prior application of Rustins Advanced Clear Wood Preserver is recommended for exterior woodwork.

Following these steps ensures the wood is ready to absorb the oil evenly, producing a smooth, natural, and durable satin finish.

Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

• Use a clean rag or brush to apply Rustins Danish Oil liberally onto the wood surface.
• After a few minutes, wipe off any excess oil with a clean rag to prevent sticky or uneven patches.
• To achieve a perfectly smooth finish, gently rub the final coat with a scouring pad in the direction of the grain, then wipe away any surplus with clean rags or paper towels.
• Apply 3 coats to bare wood for best results. Additional coats can be applied to achieve deeper protection or richer colour.
• Allow 4–6 hours for drying, depending on temperature and humidity.
• Re-coat once the previous coat is fully dry.
• Ideal application temperature is 15–25°C. Avoid applying below 5°C to ensure proper drying and penetration.
