Have moved to a new house and the beech kitchen worktop looks like it has taken a bit of a hammering over the years. I think it needs some TLC so want to sand & oil. Was going to do the following:
* Sand down with 120 grit sand paper
* Wipe off dust
* Rub in Polyx Hard Wax Oil with a soft cloth.
* Leave to dry overnight
* Repeat
Is this all OK? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
++++++++++++++++++++++
I have started on a part of the worktop that is by itself - to one side of the cooker - as means of a test.
Some of the worktop had lost its colour (i.e. gone from a rich, warm beech to a whiter colour). Some has also "greyed".
Is this normal? Will the above sanding/oiling resolve?
Thks,
Rich
