Questions & Answers

How long does it take for this product to be cleaned in the dishwasher?

As a Tried + True employee, I can tell you that wood that has been varnished or stained should never be put in a dishwasher. The finish would not be considered dishwasher safe since it is water resistant and not waterproof, and as harsh chemicals can destroy the cured finish after some time. Wash with mild, natural soap and warm water to preserve the finish.

In my tiny house, the interior walls will be made of plywood. This unit has a floor area of less than 200 square feet. On bare (new) plywood walls I intend to apply this. Do you think this will ?

I Tried & I Failed I think True would be a wonderful finish for the interior plywood, but I would highly recommend an AFM clear finish instead, for this reason It is composed primarily of glues, which produce formaldehyde from off-gassing. There are a few finishes by AFM that seal toxic offgassing, and they are Hardseal, Safeseal, and Polyure Seal .

Do you think you can apply this We need a finish for our wood table that will protect it. We are going to apply it to indoor surfaces & our children are What does it smell like?

There's nothing funny about this stuff Contains zero VOC's, is 100% food safe, and contains no heavy metals. Cooking oil-like smell and a simple to use setup make it an easy buy. This product can absolutely be used inside and is safe for The material is useful for all of the reasons listed above, but you won't be able to achieve a hard table top like you would with varnish or polyurethane. It might be helpful if you read this.

In my home, I have some 1970s built cedar kitchen cabinets that are in need of revitalization. Is this going to work over a minwax satin finish that already exists?

Prior to applying the Tried and True, I would sand the existing satin finish. If you want the wood to absorb it, you should allow it to soak into it.

Selected User Reviews For Tried & True Danish Oil Finish, Quart

Its mild odor, ease of use, and superior properties make it the obvious choice over All the rules couldn't be broken with this stuff and it still worked fine

5/5

The floor is 75 years old, so we decided to oil it only rather than refinish. I needed to avoid fumes, but a quick cure time was mandatory. Linseed oil is loaded with chemicals, so most products use that to accelerate the cure process. I knew that this product is not recommended for floors, but I didn't want to use their low VOC version. To be clear, I remained steadfast about the NO fumes policy. As this Danish oil is food safe, it could be used on cutting boards and the like. I would be able to keep my family and pets safe from odors as well. In comparison to raw linseed, it does cure fairly quickly, but not as fast as all that stinky, flammable crap out there. I just finished oiling my floor a few days ago, and it Considering that the area doesn't see a high volume of traffic, only time will tell how it will do. With this german oil, I will probably need to spot oil a couple of times a year, but it is incredibly easy. You don't have to move your family out of the house for a week because of It is somewhat expensive, but it comes in handy a lot.

Easily the best Danish oil in the world

5/5

Trying to refinish vintage Danish teak furniture is a lot of work, but this has been the best product I've found far. Despite the fact that it smells like a Chinese restaurant (my assistant says it smells like one), I actually like the smell. I have never worked with anything like it, and it leaves a much nicer finish (more authentic to the period pieces) than any of the other more commonly available Danish Oils.

I really enjoyed the end

5/5

I love this oil so much. I really like it because it's easy to use, has a nice natural scent that doesn't linger, and best of all it allows the wood's natural color to show through. In one instance, I used walnut oil on a piece of walnut while the finish is beautiful, the color turned quite dark and red. When this varnish is applied to the same walnut, it has a lovely natural unfinished appearance The color red, not the color black This is too much. A dark color that shows off the grain beautifully. There is nothing quite as beautiful as the satin finish- There must be a way to squeeze in 'silky' somewhere in the name. When I put on coats, I use 5000 steel wool in between coats and I put on four or five (depending on how much time I have to spare) coats. Because it's so easy and so lovely to wear, I don't see any reason not to keep it up if I have the time. In addition, it's great for my hands, too. Here's an extra bonus for you. I have been using this varnish for years and I don't plan to use any other wood or furniture oil in the future.

A lighter load than anticipated

5/5

The finish is super high quality, and it is very easy to apply, but it has a very mild color. Natural color of wood is brought out to its full potential. As shown here, there is a coat of red oak oil after 1 coat.

The way things are, they are as they are

4/5

Reviews for this product generally receive poor ratings on forums. Unfortunately, reviewers appear to compare it with Please & thank you A Danish Oil Finish is essentially linseed oil blended with natural drying agents. This means that it does not dry as well as modern, chemically enhanced finishes do. That would probably be best suited for materials like gunstocks or other parts which will be handled a lot. On a cherry wood table top, I used it. It was beautiful to look at after several coats, but with exposure to water, and with normal wear and tear, the finish suffered. If you want to use it on fine furniture, you will need to use a raw oil finish.

All in all, not too bad

4/5

For the first time, I tried this product. I have never found an oil product that I disliked its scent except this one. There is a slight smell of rancid cooking oil in both cans that I ordered. It smells the same as beeswax I purchased from a different seller. At first, I thought the batch was old or not stored properly, but later I found out it was a product of the same seller. Perhaps the heating process is to blame. In any case, aside from that issue, it is very easy to apply and the finish is gorgeous. Our next step is to determine the number of coats necessary to seal the stained wood completely. Beeswax will be used as a finishing agent.

It Is The Finish Product I Have Always Dreamed Of

5/5

I was totally blown away by this product! My experience with toxic finishes in the past has been that they look like plastic or do not perform as well as they should. Because of chemical sensitivities, I ended up at Tried and True, and I have now become a lifelong Applying it and burnishing it until it was dry was easy. The job is being done three at a time, using steel wool between each coat. It is the perfect combination of rustic beauty and the ability to tell the table's story - it is what I wanted.

This is a good book

5/5

Continuing to apply thin layers will keep the layer from cracking. "Old grease" smell is not unpleasant and goes away completely once it is You won't smell any harsh chemicals. The finish is beautiful It makes wood grain stand out without looking odd or orange.
