Rubio MonocoatOil Plus 2C Wood Finish, 14 m² - Walnut | Quick-Dry, Eco-Friendly Linseed Formula for Indoor Surfaces | Includes Accelerator (Part B) | Protector | 350 ML

Upon further review, even though the can was dented and leaking, likely from the shipping and handling, the seller provided excellent customer service and offered a partial refund. The product itself was easy to use and we loved the colour.

Walnut is one of my favorite wood species, and for years I’ve used Rubio Pure because I didn’t think natural Walnut could be made any more beautiful than it already is. I was so very wrong.What it is:I had always thought that this was one of Rubio’s “stain” finishes in a walnut color, but this one actually just enhances the natural look of walnut. It does darken it a bit but I prefer it that way. It evens out the sapwood and just leaves an absolutely beautiful finish.What it is NOT:This specific product is NOT a stain. Meaning, it’s not like applying Minwax’s “Dark Walnut” to pine. I’d you apply this to pine, it will leave it slightly darker and yellow.In my opinion, and I’m not sure but Rubio may also say this, this “Walnut” finish just means that it is made to finish and deepen walnut and other darker wood species.Reason for 4 stars and not 5 - I use a syringe and always mix 3:1 as the instructions state, yet I ran out of hardener with more than 1/3 of the oil left. What’s the deal!? This stuff is far too expensive to not get the amount that I paid for.

I have used Rubio for finishing furniture, musical instruments, counter tops. It is simple and effective.

The media could not be loaded.  I would use this on a finely sanded clean as a whistle surface or on a violin or other musical instrument. My video shows what you get. It’s just too natural looking which for my particular furniture piece wasn’t what I wanted for a midcentury side table. Would be ideal for an antique piece from the early 1900’s. As far as the product, it’s a lot easier than linseed oil to use. Used six Tablespoons oil and two Tablespoons accelerator to do the whole table. It doesn’t cover up or melt imperfections. You will see everything. Any weird stained areas stay weird stained areas.

I've tried a variety of different products on Walnut. Nothing beats the look of Rubio Monocoat. If you like the amber tones in walnut, use the 'pure' monocoat. If you prefer to subdue the amber tones just a bit, use this 'walnut' color. I've had the best results when sanding to 150. Anything finer doesn't allow the oil to penetrate. Anything coarser comes out a touch blotchy. Note: although this cures to a matte finish, it can easily be shined up affordably with products like Howards Feed 'N' Wax. For a super durable finish, put a poly on top. But make sure the monocoat has cured for at least a week.
