A unique formulation developed by Rustins that is suitable for all types of wood. It differs from Teak Oil in that it contains special ingredients to give it a low lustre finish. It is an easy to use wipe on finish, which brings out the beauty of the timber and gives a natural, open grained, soft lustrous finish. Ideal for all woods and is excellent on turned woodwork. Rustins Danish Oil conforms to The Articles in Contact with Food Regulations and to the Toys (Safety) Regulations 1995, BS:EN71 Part 3 What is Rustins Danish Oil? Rustins Danish Oil is a special formulation developed by Rustins Ltd. Based on Tung Oil, also known as Chinese Wood Oil. The oil is extracted form nuts, similar in size to a brazil nut, growing on species of trees mainly in China and some areas of South America. After processing, the oil is blended with synthetic resins and other vegetable oils to improve hardness. Driers and solvents are added to reduce the viscosity, so that the oil may be applied with a cloth or brush. How does it differ from other wood finishes? The special ingredients used in the manufacture of 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 which may peel, chip or craze on ageing. The oil dries quickly in 4-6 hours, dependent on the ambient temperature and humidity, producing a non tacky surface. It does not, therefore, pick up dust or dirt as will wood treated with linseed oil. 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, Rustins Danish Oil may be used on interior and exterior woodwork and can be over-coated with a varnish or paint at any time, if it is desired to alter the appearance.
