Hi, I bought an Ikea kitchen trolley with solid oak worktop and painted legs. The instructions say that the worktop has been treated with oil once in the factory. After mounting, I am supposed to apply several more coats of oil - every second day during the first week and every third day for about 2 months.

1) Can I use it between the coats?

2) Do I have to apply oil on the underside of the worktop? I did the first time but do I have to do it every time?

3) Do I have to be careful not to touch the painted legs with the oil cloth? Can the oil damage the paint finish?
