I've got my worktops cut, oil has arrived and a couple of old shirts ready to oil. The oil is at the house I'm doing up so was looking to get some advice on how i'd go about it, how long between each coats. Heres what i think so far/: oil one side and edges leave for a few hours then...

thanks for reply's and sorry for the little info. I have just noticed the rcd test switch does not work?????? I know little about electrics so I'm not working with it myself.

I've tried my chopsaw which is 1200 w and my little 4" grinder which both cuts it out without any heater in it

2.5 mm wire and it's the RCD what trips and it was a small plug I stuck into the wall with lights that flashed on it for testing it. it was A 1800w heater I pluged in to make it trip

a dehumidifier. that's it

they keep tripping when I stick anything around 1800w in it. like a heater. breaker is 32a. plug test showed all plugs are fine

Just a quick questions, do you cut your worktops then oil them or oil first then cut and re oil e.g hob, sink tap holes?

do all the oils give it a slight varnished look or is there one that doens't have the shine with it?

heres a couple of before pictures and the old windows and a view from outside I'm a novice Diyer but its all coming together
