Finishing oil vs Danish oil

[russella]

Hi all,

Can anyone enlighten me the difference between Danish oil and Finishing oil? So far I've done two oak doors and two rooms of oak skirting off of Liberon finishing oil, I've just as an experiment tried a third door with Danish oil and at first glance can't see a difference!

Also, is there anything to look out for with cheap products, eg Wilko vs Colron vs Liberon?

Thanks,

Russ

I used to use either Liberon Finsihing oil or (generally) Rustin's Danish oil for finishing hardwood furniture. The Liberon is a bit thinner, IIRC, and gives a slightly different sort of finish. Less "build" possibly. Really nothing to choose between them. As for the cheaper alternatives, I don't really know. Try a bit on some scrap and see.

I've only used the Liberon one but was highly recommended to it.
The only trouble I had was I got distracted yesterday and let it go sticky, I cleaned it up with some white spirit, sanded and re-applied and it gave it's usual finish.

How does Danish oil fair against varnishes and paint externally?
