Choosing an oiled polish for your furniture
Saturday, March 6th, 2010With so a lot of different types of oil, how do you choose which one to use? Of the four types of “oil”, two can be eliminated from factor: straight oil and polymerized oil. Neither of the two conventional oils - linseed oil - performs correctly, so it would be exclusive that you would want to use of these. Polymerized oil performs perfectly, on the other hand it is expensive, is not widely offered, and offers no advantage over wiping polish.
That leaves oil blend and wiping finish. Oil or finish blend is the easier of the two to use, as you have a lot of time to spread over it and get the excess wiped off. Oil/polish combine also produces a pleasing satin gloss that is very trendy. then again it doesn’t carry on wood fairly properly against water steam exchange. Oil/polish blend should be your choice when preservation is not of main significance and you want maximum ease of application and a satin appearance. Oil blend is a poor choice for a table top, for example, conversely might be used on a rocking chair, bed, or decorative object.
Wiping finish is more complex to spread over than oil/finish blend for the reason that it cures much faster. You have not as much of time prior to begins to set up. Also if you choose to make a thicker film on the wood by not wiping off all that excess, you will have problems as well as dust settling on and becoming embedded in the finish. Wiping finish must be your choice if you want a shiny finish gloss, or if you want to assemble a thicker film on the wood.
