Questions & Answers
Hello, I work for Tried True and I believe that no wood, regardless of finish, should be put in the dishwasher. This finish is not dishwasher safe because it is water resistant rather than waterproof, and the harsh chemicals can actually dissolve the cured finish over time. Instead, wash with mild, natural soap and warm water.
The Tried and True True would make a lovely interior plywood finish, but I would strongly recommend an AFM clear finish instead for the following reasons: Because of the glues used in it, interior plywood emits formaldehyde. AFM specializes in toxic offgassing-sealing finishes like Hardseal, Safeseal, and Polyureseal, as well as clear finishes like Hardseal, Safeseal, and Polyureseal. They can be reached by phone at 619- 239- For more information, call 0321 x110, visit their website, or have them ship to you.
This is a non-starter. 100% food safe and no heavy metal driers, toxic, zero VOC's, zero VOC's, zero VOC's, 100% food safe and no heavy metal It has a cooking oil scent and is easy to apply. It is absolutely safe to use around children and can be used indoors. It's great for all of the reasons listed above, but it won't give you a hard tabletop finish like varnish or polyurethane. I hope you find this information useful.
Before applying the Tried and True, I would sand off the existing satin finish. It should be able to absorb into the wood.
Selected User Reviews For Tried & True - Danish Oil - Pint
With this stuff, I broke all the "rules" and it still worked perfectly. I was refinishing a 75-year-old hardwood floor and decided to go with an oil-only finish. This product is not recommended for floors by the company, but I didn't want to use their low VOC version, which can be used for floors. I wanted NO fumes but still a quick cure time, which turned out to be a tall order as most manufacturers use tons of chemicals in linseed oil to make it cure quickly. In terms of NO fumes, I was sticking to my guns. This danish oil is food safe and can be used on cutting boards and other surfaces, so it's safe for my family and pets to use, and it has a low odor. It won't cure as quickly as all that stinky, flammable stuff out there, but it will cure much faster than raw linseed. My floor looks fantastic after only three days of oiling. Because it isn't in a high-traffic area, only time will tell how well it holds up. I may have to spot oil a few times a year, but it's so simple with this Danish oil. You also won't have to relocate your family for a week because of toxic fumes. It's a little pricey, but it'll last a long time.
This is by far the best product I've found for refinishing 1950s and 1960s Danish teak furniture. I like the smell because it's not chemically scented (my assistant says it smells like a Chinese restaurant). It's a pleasure to work with, and it produces a much nicer (and more period-appropriate) finish than any of the other Danish Oils we've tried.
It comes highly recommended! It creates a slight water barrier and gives wood a golden brown appearance. One coat is sufficient to give the wood a decent appearance; additional coats merely aid in water resistance (more oil in the wood = less water that can get in). Use this stuff if you're going to cut or eat straight from a surface. Cuts in poly and other clear barriers result in plastic "shards" that can enter your food. Apply this stuff, wipe it off after 5 minutes (to get it off the access so it doesn't pool and stick), then wait 8 hours. 0000 grade steel wool will help burnish the surface and give it a more satin or glossy finish. By the way, one can will last you about 20 tables. It goes a long way with this stuff. After my experience with this product, I'm a Tried and True guy. Oh, and it's nontoxic, though it does have a vegetable oil smell at first that fades after a few hours.
I chose this over Watco Danish Oil, which I had been using for several months. So far, I've used it for two projects: a black walnut slab end table, and a small cherry slab table In terms of color and end result, it was comparable to Watco. Without changing the color of the wood, it complements it nicely. The absence of noxious fumes and longer drying times are the most notable differences. It's nice not to have to wear gloves or carry a P-card. 95 mask. It has a mild, cooking-oil-like scent. Use a small rag to apply the product. A day or two is added to my projects when I wait 8 hours between coats. With COVID-X, there is no shortage of time at the moment. That hasn't been a problem for me because I'm 19 years old. I applied a wipe-on polyurethane after 72 hours for extra water resistance and durability, so I can't comment on how it holds up on its own. I'm glad I tried it. When time isn't an issue, I'll use it instead of harsher options.
I recently began using butcher block oil to make serving boards for my food. I'll admit that the appearance of mineral oil on wood has never piqued my interest. br> I've been using Watco danish oil for a long time, and I did some research to find a certified "food safe" danish oil, and I found this one. br>br>I will never use any other Danish oil other than this one again. The finish is unlike anything I've ever seen! The cost is not only reasonable, but also appropriate for a product of this quality. br>br>I am overjoyed to have discovered this Danish oil.
I used warm water and a one-step liquid detergent (1-step) to clean. 2 tsp) 0000 steel wool and a rag to prevent the wood from becoming too wet and to remove dirty water. After allowing the pieces to dry overnight, apply the oil in a *thin* layer (as if you were buttering a pan). Allow for 5 minutes of sitting time before buffing with a clean cloth and repeating in 8 hours or more. For more information, go to their YouTube channel. After the third coat and buffing (only on the top, not the sides), the photos are shown. br>br>The results are better than I expected, and they would have been even better if I had sanded the tops completely to remove the large white splotches and gouges (which initially appeared white but are now darker). br>br>I believe that where this is raw wood, it will be a little darker than the surrounding wood after finishing, but it all looks so much better and blends nicely - I am overjoyed. I have a few more teak pieces to finish and probably have 90% left in the pint - It'll last for a long time because a little goes a long way. br>br>It also smells like old vegetable oil, as other reviews have stated. It's unobtrusive; the house doesn't stink, and you don't feel like you're on a solvent high. So, if you're overwhelmed by the options (other Danish oils, special blends, Tung oils, linseed oil varieties, etc. ) and can't decide which one to try, this is the place to go. Go for it. Excellent outcomes!.
This oil is fantastic. It's simple to use, has a pleasant natural scent that doesn't linger, and best of all, it allows the wood's natural color to shine through. I used walnut oil on a piece of walnut, for example, and while the finish is beautiful, the color has turned quite red and dark. With this varnish, the same walnut has a lovely natural un-polished appearance. red, not- too- The grain is brilliantly highlighted by the dark color. The satin finish is simply stunning- They should incorporate the word "silky" into the name in some way. br>br>In between coats, I use 5000 steel wool and apply 4 or 5 coats (depending on how much time I have). It's so simple and lovely to put on that I don't see why I shouldn't keep doing it if I have the time, and it's also good for my hands. a small additional benefit I've been using this varnish for years and will never switch to another wood / furniture oil.
