How to apply Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C

Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is our recommended choice of oil for all interior flooring and woodword, including furniture, serving boards, tabletops and even guitar bodies. We strongly suggest applying by hand using the scrubby pads to avoid an excess of oil, but we have instructions for professional application to floors as well.

2. Fill small cracks, larger joints or holes in wood with Rubio Wood Filler & use Rodo Filling Knife. Then sand wood surfaces carefully 

3. Lightly sand surface prior to applying Oil Plus 2C with a 120-150 grit paper. Please note that the higher grit of sanding material used, the lighter the colour of the oil will be.
