Bring out the natural beauty of your wood with Tried & True Original Wood Finish. This time-tested, superior blend of highly polymerized linseed oil and pure beeswax provides a warm, soft appearance and a beautiful "antique" sheen reminiscent of well-cared-for heirloom furniture.
Why Choose Tried & True Original?
- Superior Natural Blend: Crafted using traditional varnish-making techniques with 100% natural, plant-derived ingredients. It enhances the wood grain while providing excellent protection against water, liquids, and daily wear.
- 100% Safe & Non-Toxic: FDA-approved as non-toxic and non-allergenic. Contains zero solvents and no toxic drying aids. Safe for indoor use without Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
- Food Safe & Family Friendly: The perfect finish for food contact surfaces like cutting boards, butcher blocks, knife handles, and kitchen cabinetry. Also completely safe for children's wooden toys and pet items.
- Efficient Curing & Long-Lasting Durability: The linseed oil is polymerized for fast curing without harsh chemicals. Because there are no solvents, a little goes a long way! It offers spot-repairability, meaning you can easily touch up or repair the finish without stripping or sanding the entire piece.
Easy Application Instructions:
- Prep: Sand your wood piece to at least 320 grit for a smooth base.
- Apply: Wipe the finish onto the wood surface.
- Buff: Buff the surface dry with a soft, clean cloth. Allow it to sit for about 1 hour.
- Burnish: Wait a day, then burnish the surface using 4/0 steel wool or synthetic wool.
- Repeat: Apply additional coats as desired. (2 coats are usually sufficient for trimwork, doors, and windows; 3 coats are recommended for furniture).
Important Notes for Best Results:
- Temperature Matters: Cooler ambient temperatures will increase curing time. For optimal results, maintain a room temperature environment (around 70°F / 21°C) while the finish cures.
- Indoor Use Only: This premium oil finish is designed for indoor woodwork and is not suitable for outdoor exposure.
- Maintenance: Simply buff with a soft clean cloth periodically to maintain the beautiful shine and patina.
