Danish Oil


Rye Oil Ltd

Recommended Posts

Hi have recently started selling a range of wood oils, ie decking oil, tung oil and the like. I am in the middle of formulating a Danish oil which is a mix of tung oil and a high UV napthenic base oil.

It would be great if I can find 2 or 3 people who are familiar with other peoples Danish oil to test it and let me know how it performs. If you can let me know next week I will be blending it I can send a 5 litre sample out.

Thanks in advance

Jon

Jon, I've just had a look through the Rye website at your Cedar/ deck oil. What makes it unsuitable for timber with tannins, and are you likely to do a Teak Oil equivalent?

 

We use Teak and Deck oils fairly indiscriminately, so I'm just wondering if I'm going to have issues in the future? Thanks, Will

Hi Will, it all comes down to the finish, our decking oil is mostly suitable for soft woods, so pine and cedar etc. When you apply it to darker hardwoods the finish can be affected and may produce a patches of darker finish. It still protects the wood and prevents discoloration by UV but I know for a fact it doesn't work on Iroko as I had that tested by a local fencing firm. I cannot say whether this is the case for other peoples oils just ours.

Hope this is of assistance.

Thanks

Jon
