I've just bought some of this, not used it yet though so can't comment how good it is.

A few months back someone here recommended a Sadolin product that is meant to be the dogs dangley's for work tops... I cant find it searching. Can anyone help?
Tung oil initially and then every few months or just plain olive oil will do then. Note, no oil will protect your Worktop against burns and strong colours etc. I am sure I remember hearing an 'old wives tale' but it kind of makes sense regarding application on oil on worktops etc.
It went 'Once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year' or something like that.
Building up a decent penetration of oil makes sense though.

A good rule of thumb for oil finishes from scratch. Thin coats mind... and a good rub.It went 'Once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year' or something like that.

Osmo product are reliable, this is their worktop product.

I tried Sadolin and ended up replacing it with Danish oil.
The sadolin looked nice, but even after 5 coats it wouldn't repel water as well as Danish Oil (I used this before trying Sadolin). Even black marks would be left on it from kettle and toaster wires.
The Danish Oil doesn't look quite as good though, bit more shiny, but I personally think it works better at protecting the worktop from water and stains.

You won't get any more penetration by applying multiple coats, once the first coat has soaked in it will prevent any further oil pentrating further. What you will be doing is building up oil on the surface, if that's what you want.
Two coats of Osmo Poly X (allow to dry overnight between coats) will protect it and keep it looking good for months. It;s also food safe when dry.
