Oil Plus 2C

Oil Plus is a plant-based, hardwax oil wood finish. As the name implies, in just one simple application you get color and protection for wood. It is used for flooring, furniture, cabinetry, millwork and just about any wood project imaginable. Oil Plus 2C works by forming a molecular bond with the topmost fibers of the wood. This results in a durable finish with great wear-, water- and heat resistance, all while keeping the natural look and feel of the wood.

2C stands for 2-component. Part A is the oil, and Part B is an accelerant and hardener. Oil Plus 2C is 0% VOC and does not contain solvents or water. It does not produce lap lines. It is easy to apply and maintain, and can be applied to all wood types. Oil Plus 2C is available in 40 standard colors, which can all be mixed to create endless color possibilities.

Shop Finish (aka Oil/Varnish Blend)

A shop made oil/varnish blend is the workhorse finish here. It goes on most shop projects (including benchtops when we bother to finish them). Two coats offers enough protection against spills. The formula is simple: 1 part varnish (we prefer Helmsman spar varnish), 1 part boiled linseed oil and 1 part thinner (either turpentine or mineral spirits – and for either, we like the less smelly stuff, though it costs more). Just mix them up in a Mason jar, and done. Don gloves, then apply it in a thin coat with a lint-free cotton rag, drawing it out until there are no puddles – in effect, wiping it dry. Let it sit for a few hours, then knock down nibs with an extra fine sanding sponge or fine-grit sandpaper. Repeat as many times as you like to achieve a look you find pleasing. Two is the minimum for protection. I wouldn’t apply more than about four coats though; if you do, it will start to look plasticky (but be better protected … so maybe for a tabletop).
