Watco

Danish Oil is a blend of penetrating oil & varnish that

hardens in the wood, not on the wood surface. Watco Danish Oil

penetrates deep into wood pores to protect from within and to

enhance the natural look of the wood. It creates a rich color of a

traditional hand-rubbed finish. Many projects can be completed

in less than an hour. Danish Oil is easy to use. Simply brush or

wipe on and wipe off.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .

SURFACE PREPARATION

Remove any existing finishes with sandpaper or stripper.

Prepare bare wood for staining by sanding in the direction of

the grain. Begin with #120 grit sandpaper and progress through

#150, #180 and #220 grits. Before staining, remove all sanding

dust and dirt with a vacuum, tack cloth, or rag dampened with

mineral spirits. For grease and glue, remove with a rag

dampened with mineral spirits.

OPTIONAL STEPS - Pre-treat soft woods, such as pine, by

lightly wiping the wood’s surface with a cloth moistened with

Watco Danish Oil finish in Natural. Immediately wipe the

surface completely dry and proceed with application.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may

Release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD

DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS SUCH AS BRAIN

DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN

SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved

respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a

HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to

protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead

Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to

www.epa.gov/lead.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .

APPLICATION

Use only when air (ambient) temperature is between 60-90°F

(16-32°C) and relative humidity is below 85%. Allow for longer

dry times during damp and humid conditions. Mix thoroughly to

ensure that any settled pigment is re-dispersed before

application. Stir occasionally during use. Apply a test sample on

a small inconspicuous area before proceeding with the entire job.

Apply one coat of stain liberally with a brush or clean lint- free rag.

Allow to penetrate for 5-10 minutes then remove excess by

wiping with a rag in the direction of the grain. Removal of all

excess material is essential to ensure proper dry time and proper

adhesion of topcoat.

PROTECTING THE WOOD

To complete your wood project and to enhance protection,

topcoat with any Rust-Oleum Polyurethane depending on the

project needs. Polyurethane can be applied after 72 hours of

applying the stain. Darker colors may require a slightly longer dry

time.

MAINTENANCE

Apply fresh coats as needed to repair surface scratches and

remove minor stains. Burnish affected area with fine steel wool or

220-grit sandpaper, and then apply the color of Watco

Danish Oil

originally used to finish the wood.

CLEAN UP

Clean application tools and equipment with mineral spirits or

paint thinner.
