Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, 1.3 Liter, Black, Interior Wood Stain and Finish, Food Safe, Easy One-Coat, Linseed Oil, Plant Based, VOC/Solvent Free, Furniture & Flooring Hardwax Oil

Easy to use. The product information in the retail stores is Poor! The reason for going to Amazon. Overall the written steps and tips need to be improved. The videos are great; however you still like to refer to written docs with tips and prep work for great results. Technical support can be improved!

We used this product on acacia block desk tops. The finish doesn't change the color and generally is easy to apply. We've used it before on a dark walnut live edge coffee table so we know its durable and lasting.

We've done several kitchen remodels in the past and have always used IKEA's Behandla on our butcherblock countertops. Sadly that product has been discontinued and its replacement, Stockaryd, is not the same thing at all. It is just Tung oil, which sinks into the wood but provides no barrier whatsoever - the second you use even just a damp cloth on it, the wood grain rises up and becomes rough again. With Behandla I could empty a bottle of food coloring on my butcherblock and it would wipe right off, leaving no stains at all! So disappointed.Next I tried a butchblock conditioning cream which added beeswax into the finish, supposedly for enhanced water resistance and durability. That was a fail too, so then I added a layer of the same company's Wax It All, hoping that the extra wax would be deal clincher. I didn't wash it for a week, and the first time I took a damp cloth to it, not only did the grain rise up immediately but it left a huge white patch in the finish. There wasn't even any cleaner on the cloth, just water.In desperation I searched the web for a better solution and came across Rubio Monocoat. As a cake decorator who works from home, I need a product that has food safety certification, but I didn't want to use a polyurethane because of the risk of flaking and the lack of ability to do spot repairs, not to mention the horrible chemicals. Rubio Monocoat sounded almost too good to be true but after reading lots of reviews and educating myself on their website about how it actually works, I was ready to give it a go.The biggest part of the job for me was prepping the countertops, as I had to sand them right back down to bare wood. If you have new, untreated butcherblock, you will breeze through this process!The packaging truly sucks (how are you meant to separate the two tins?!) and the instructions are printed so small that I couldn't read them even with glasses on! However the website is very informative and tells you everything you need to know.As promised, the butcherblock was touch-dry at the end of the buffing process and the smell from the linseed oil was very minor and not unpleasant - no VOCs!. The next day we started to put plates etc on the counter but did no food prep or anything that would require cleaning on it, as you have to keep it dry for five days in order for the oil to cure. At the end of five days, I cleaned it down with a damp cloth and was thrilled that it stayed smooth as glass. I put it to the ultimate test, slapping dough on to it and making pizza last night, and it came through with flying colors. Scraped up the excess dough, washed it down, and the countertop is still good as new. Thank God - have finally found a replacement for Behandla!Don't waste your time on oils - they might work for a butcherblock chopping board or a wooden salad bowl, but they don't work for a countertop that needs cleaning daily. This product is natural, food safe and actually does what it says on the tin!Their customer service is also very good. They have a chat on the website which is actually a human being and not a bot. They answered a couple of questions I had and were very honest, clarifying which of their maintenance products had food safety certification and which didn't - it would have been very easy for them to just say they all did, but they were very specific, which I really appreciated. All in all, five stars!

I finally bit the bullet after seeing all my favorite YouTube woodworkers fawning over this finish.I am a believer now.As along as you have all the prep items (don't buy the RM Cleaner, just get mineral spirits), this is a pretty easy and satisfying finish to apply. It's been 3 months since I used it on a cherry coffee table I made. It's taken plenty abuse from my sister-in-law that refuses to use a coaster and it still looks great.

This finish is easy to use, and looks beautiful after application. It definitely brings out the natural wood look very well. But, it's not really that much better than a normal tung or danish oil finish. It cures faster, and has a higher wax content which should make it more waterproof, but it's still the same general type of finish. Given the extreme high cost, I would just lean towards using tung oil and/or poly in the future.

Super easy to apply. This is a very small container and I was worried. I wanted to try it out so I only mixed 100 mL for the trial. It ended up covering my entire dresser project and I had leftovers. So I touched up/ refinished a bunch of previous projects that only had a linseed oil finish. Bonus is that this stuff smells amazing.

I used mist 5% on some white oak for a vanity build. This shade of Rubio gives white oak a very nice warmth without the amber tone that pure gives it. It’s incredibly easy to apply, but I do recommend a second coat for a nicer sheen. I have been thinking about adding a ceramic coating to it, but so far I haven’t seen any issues with it in the bathroom. My biggest gripe with Rubio is that the don’t give you anywhere near enough part b.

Easy to mix, easy to use.

J’ai adore

It is a toss up for me between Rubio and Osmo. Rubio gets the edge because it leaves a better feel and has no VOC when applying. The hardener gives you quicker full cure - but even though marketed as a mono coat, you really do need to apply 2 coats to get a nice sheen for furniture.

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

Goes on well and leaves a great finish.
