Hi,

thanks for the pointer but i could nt see anything about protecting the knotts from drying and falling out.
also im looking to use an oil as i have been told that given the amount of timer i need to cover and the finish we are looking for that oil would be the best option. im open to ideas though.

any ideas on the knotts and the oils?

cheers,
matt

Dear Matt

Thank you for your enquiry.

Firstly the knots,the product that is ideal for this is called Transparent Polish and will take about 1 hour to dry. Just use a standard brush or cloth and apply to the knots.

Secondly as you are after a natural looking finish then I would definitely recommend our Danish Oil. It has been designed to provide excellent protection without the 'glassy' look of Polyurethane Varnish. Apply 2 or 3 coats of this by brush or cloth leaving it overnight between coats. Danish Oil is white spirit based which you will need for cleaning etc.

I hope that this is of assistance and am pleased to list the two direct web links to these products.
