Watco 65241 Danish Oil Wood Finish, Quart, Cherry

I could not find this color at any price f the big box stores or local hardware store for some reason. Found on amazon and ordered. I use it to dress up my mahogany entry door. I just apply it with a staining pad. It takes less than 15-20 minutes to give it a good cost and it looks great again. Thinner than paint so using a pad helps abound runs. But if it does run you just wipe it out since it isn’t paint. The wood soaks it in. Have used for years.

It is easy to use and very forgiving. Protects the wood and adds some color. Dries quickly.

I finished a base guitar kit with the cherry stain. It looks wonderful but is still a bit fragrant after 10 days. I used 5 coats and 3 paste wax coats.

Easy to apply. Dries well. Easy to control.

This stuff is magic! I had some damage to a wood dresser that I had accidentally spilled Rain-X on (doh!) and the finish had gone all white and splotchy. I tried everything, rubbing it with a cotton cloth while blowing on it with a heat gun, every other wood cleaner/oil I could find, and nothing turned the trick until this.

Great danish oil. Nice color. Takes some time to dry after which it looks really nice. Very easy application .

Easy on easy off great finish.

I tried this oil finish and was not satisfied in either the way it worked, nor the stain. I ended up giving it away to a neighbor to apply to bird houses. The first coat raised the grain severely compared to a Linseed based finish. Also, I was working with birch, and the color turned out to be an orange color, and not the medium red-brown "fruit wood" shown on the can. I guess they think everyone will only work with red oak or walnut. On applying the second coat, it took almost a day to dry, and the third coat took almost 1-1/2 days. The final finish was a very dull finish, and I had to sand it with 600 grit, then apply a Linseed based finish over it to bring out any luster. If I had used the Linseed based finish to start with, it would have dried much quicker, not raised the grain so much, and the final finish would have been much smoother, and looked much better. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it.
