Stain & Finishing Oil (SFO) is a versatile wood conditioner, stain, and top coat in one, providing exceptional durability for high-traffic surfaces like table tops, cabinets, and flooring. It's best applied on bare wood without an additional top coat, though adding a coat of Natural can increase sheen and durability without changing colour. This blend of natural oils and resins deeply penetrates wood fibers, creating a robust, water-resistant finish. Unlike traditional topcoats, SFO doesn't form a surface film; instead, it becomes an integral part of your wood, providing long-lasting protection and enhancing its natural beauty. The 237 mL container covers as much area as 1 litre of other stains due to its high pigment concentration. Over time, oil-based products may yellow, so we recommend Tough Coat, our water-based top coats for lighter colours to avoid this effect. Applying SFO on Bare Wood: Generously apply SFO, ensuring even coverage on sanded wood. Let it penetrate for 15 minutes, then buff off excess. For deeper color or more sheen, apply a second coat after 9 hours. SFO integrates with the wood, providing long-lasting protection without forming a surface film. Applying SFO over Painted Surfaces: Apply in thin amounts, buffing off excess immediately. This will increase the sheen and durability of the painted surface.
