  1. Try buffing first with the cheap cloth I find after a few coats the colour stays the same. Just scrunch the cloth into a ball and rub in circular motion, make sure it is the blue and white one described as they do an amazing job! It may take a good bit of buffing though if it's already had 3 coats, you may get it to a finish your happy with if not when buffed to where it stops improving be brave add another coat of danish wait 24 then rebuff. I usually find 3 coats plenty on hardwood 3-5 on soft. Sorry if it seems like I'm teaching how to suck eggs not intended. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Rub the danish oil in with a lint free cloth leave 24 hours buff with a blue and white cheapo Asda cloth (you usually get about 5 in a pack for £1) when you start to get a shine apply more oil with lint free cloth leave 24 hours and repeat repeat etc until you have around 4 to 5 coats of oil. Each time you buff with the cheap cloth it should get better. You will know when it is right as it becomes like a glass finish. The danish oil process is like bulling a pair of best army boots. It takes time effort patience and the more coats you give them the better they look! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Those types of people would put drugs 1st no matter what! Although you could charge the working idiots but again it is the working being penalised. Also where would it end smoking is self harm as is alcohol drugs and even obesity to a point, charging people would initiate a private service and before you know it we would be paying NI and private insurance. The NHS has a lot of faults but it is still a good service and it is an envy of a lot of other nations. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
