organoil time

[Gingermick]

I oiled a bit of wood today with organoil danish oil. It says on the back that I need to leave it at least 24 hours before applying another coat. Anyone know why this is?

Its a trim for a part of the floor and will get walked on lots.

G'day GM;
having followed afew threads on the use of organoil (and used it once or twice) I can only suggest that it is to give the oil component time to cure.
It's my understanding that organoil's products are formulated to "bond" with the timber after absorbtion. It may also be to avoid over-application, which is supposed to be a huge organoil no-no.

The polyurethane content of Danish oil has been discussed quite a bit in this forum also, with particular regard to organoil's products. A search should yield a wealth of information, much of it from Neil (U-beaut) himself.

Regards,
Rus.

Right on Rusty - It's to allow time for the polyu to go off.

thanks Rusty.

I see you can get accelerator for super glue, Have they invented one for oil finishes?

Not in Organoil danish oil, probably by your definition not a real danish oil as it does not have any varnish in it at all.

Sorry to burst your bulbble PHA1 but it does have polyurethane in it. It may not say so anywhere but take it from me it has, and that info is is straight from the horses mouth.

Thats troubling if true, I have not used it as I use other things, but the following is lifted straight from their datasheet on danishoil

Given Olde Style DANISH OIL’S parameters of use and exposure, we cannot understand the need for chemicals and synthetics. This product well-addresses your health (chemical exposure, indoor air quality etc.).

I wonder how you could test for the stuff?

I used to think a great deal of Danish oil as a finish, but as I get into things more, I find that between shellac (sanding sealer and shellawax) and traditional wax and the straight organoil (woodsheen and high speed) that I can get damn good finishes on every timber I have tried.

Another question using Danish oil. Has anyone tried or can you lacquar over danish oil with any sucess.
