Danish Oil - anyone in Surrey have c.200ml they don't need?

[Mobile Chicane]

I was wondering if anyone had any of this left over from eg. a kitchen refurb and had no use for? It comes in massive cans, hence it's expensive.

I'd like to refurb a beechwood sink drainer at my rented place. It needs doing and is a simple enough job for me to sand and oil. However the landlord won't agree to the materials cost to do this, and instead wants me to pay for 'cleaning'.

Hence the scrounge...

Thanks very much in advance.

I have some that you can have. Only bought it to coat a very small table so I have loads left that I can decant to you. I'll pm you later when I'm not using my phone.

I've got a couple of spare litres in Hampshire...

I find 3 coats every six months is good to keep on top of it.

I sand with fine wire wool, just to de-nib it.

Quick sweep up and bosh on the oil.

Massive cans. Expensive. Really?
You can buy it in just about any good hardware shope for about £10 for 2 litres.

My local hardware shop do 5ltr for £25.75 or a single Ltr £9.40.
So, I was a little bit out on the tenner for 2 litrs (but not if you buy the 5 Ltr!!!)

Got some - thanks for the offers.

Homebase carry



in a variety of tints.

£10.98 for 500ml - which isn't cheap but by the time you have driven halfway across Surrey might come out easier and less expensive.

is danish oil coloured?

we were recommended it for oiling some modern oak furniture- the last thing i want is for it to turn into orange pine stuff!

You can get a variety of different shades. Test carefully first, though. Depending upon the condition of the wood being treated the actual final colour can vary massively.

I oiled all my external oak window frames this Summer, looks beautiful and brings out the grain but quite a lot of colour variation.
