Hi, been a long time lurker but this is my first plea for help!
We have had 11 internal doors fitted with new frames/facings/skirtings etc.
The doors are Howdens Oak Shaker, an engineered door. The facings are solid oak but the frame is oak veneered MDF.
We were advised by the joiner who fitted them, that Danish Oil would be the best to treat the doors with, so thats what we did. Only one application so far though to the doors only.
We have discovered that Howdens don't recommend using Oil for these doors, possibly causing delamination and doesn't seal the door properly.
So what do we do now?
The finish with one light application of Danish Oil looks OK but would we risk a second or third?
Do we use a varnish (oil based I assume) to seal over the danish oil? If so, how would the look compare to if we carry on with the Danish Oil on the facings? Also, what to do with the MDF-veneer on the frame?
Maybe I should of read up on Danish Oil before we started.....
Thanks all!
