Just got the new catalog and I am waiting for a delivery from them this afternoon. They are very good if you need info on any job and the tools for it. I am always giving their name on here when people are looking for tools. They don't sell tat... For anyone that wants a good interesting tool + catalog, just go to the web site Jc gave and you can order one free. It's worth looking at if you are interested in tools of virtually any type and the explanations for them have a sense of humour too. They do books and videos as well. Advert over, 'onest Admin! I don't and have never worked for them, just a very satisfied customer... We went to the old shop in Axminster years ago. It was an Aladinz cave! I was like a child in a sweet shop! I have just spoken to the Axminster tech line and they send danish oil here, but the down side is the postage is £5 for up to a Kg and it goes up from there... A litre is a tenner as near as makes no difference. Knowing the price of things here it may still be worth it and I've probably spent more than the postage looking for it!? John. I am certain that there is too much certainty in the world!    Report

They gave me this link and said that it would do the job. http://www.liberon.fr/index.php?p=183&art_id=192&args=Y29tcF9pZD0xNjYmYWN0aW9uPWZpY2hlUHJvZHVpdCZpZD0zMiZ8. I don't know if it's exactly the same but I will have a look at it. They also told me where, in this area, it's stocked.. Very helpful... John.

Still god a load left as I really don't like the stuff. Used it once (for one coat only - then switched back to Teak Oil). Now I'm trying to use it up on odds and ends that are going outside or are hidden (i.e. just using the oil to protect the wood). That said I've found massive variation sin Teak Oils in France. Some are really sticky, others really rally thin. the best I found was actually Diamond (or something like that) in L'eclrec and later Bricomarche - but then both stopped stocking it. I actually purchased it because the tim said it contained Tung Oil (and I thus assumed it would be a decent percentage of Tung Oil). However, I've subsequently seen that other tins of the same stuff no longer have the Tung Oil listed on the tin Anyway, the Liberon Huile meuble is available in most DIY places (certainly Leroy Merlin, Bricomarche, etc.) but if you spend 20 seconds in the store you will definitely find something better. From memory its a little more expensive than teak oil - but not worth it even if it was "premier prix". My local baker probably has something better !! Ian Copyright Deimos.

IKEA sell a wood treatment oil which is safe for use on food preparation areas and also offers a good degree off water resistance if applied regularly. If my memory serves me correctly, it is sold by the 0.5 litre and costs around £3.00. An interesting safety point regarding the use of wood finishing oils is once you've finished the job, don't screw the application cloth(s) up into a ball and through them in a corner - they can self combust, and I've seen it happen!    Report

This afternoon I will be buying a length of unfinished Hetre worktop from Bricodepot to finish my fitted kitchen. After I have done the right angle join (I refuse to use the ally strips that they still use here) and routed some drainage grooves for the undermounted sink I need to find some kind of durable and decorative finish.  The durability is more important to me than looking like a showroom finish, I used danish oil on my workbench in the UK (made out of very heavy commercial veneered doors) which has certainly been durable but has not had to suffer hot pans and wet draining dishes. Any suggestions? I had natural sycamore worktop (a complete slice from a tree, complete with wavy edge at the front) in my kitchen in the UK which OH treated with Teak Oil several times before use. There were no problems with either hot pans, roasting tins or wet dishes. I even rolled out pastry on it to no ill effect. I wish I could have brought it with me, I loved it so much!    Report
