Apply Rubio Monocoat Oil+2C I Bents Woodworking

[@donrice4865]

Straight to the point. You are an excellent teacher. When I saw this was a 16 min video I initially cringed thinking 12 minutes would be anecdotal stories and 4 minutes of useful intel. But this was time well spent and it seems others below have also noted your strength in this. So I wanted to compliment you and say Thank You!😁

[@fnordeon1013]

So - leaving a comment 4 years after the post was made😂 Great video, great tutorial, great information! Been a carpenter and builder for 3o odd years. A co-worker recently recommended Rubio '2c' for a 'coffe river table' finish, topping of with their finishing oil. So, visited a demonstration in Malmö (southern Sweden). While being well informed there by a great salesman, your input is as great as it comes! Having used a lot of different products over the years (incl 'danish oil'), I am totally convinced of Rubio being a superior product. Thanks, a great video. Merry Christmas 2023 😊❤

[@KaiKronfield]

I finally found Rubio after years of messing around with various finishes for the walnut dining table I built (Tung oil, carnuba wax, Emmett's good Stuff.) I was never happy with the finish and drink rings are (were) my nemesis. This stuff is spectacular. If only I'd known about it 20 years ago. Made my table look like new and I'm about to refinish my mom's oak dining table (with my new Festool sander!) and will definitely be using this on it. Thanks for the refresher!

[@CanadianWoodworks]

Great video, we have been using Rubio for close to 8 years, great product! You may have met Justin down in Texas? We do break the "rules" (-: We send to 220 on virtually any table when using rubio, we also have never used the "wood cleaner" instead use an air gun for a few minutes. I just can't leave wood sanded to only 120-150 grit there is so much more potential when at least going to 220. In fact I have done many tables sanded to 400 grit then finished with Rubio and never had one customer come back to me with negative feedback / issues.

[@bentswoodworking]

I did and it was a great time!!! Good to know about the sanding. I know many people have and do. It’s also reassuring from someone who has been using it successfully for so long. 👍👊🏼

Of course I am late to the party but I am just seeing this after I just went up through 100 - 150 - 220 - 320 to 400 grit on an epoxy desk top with beautiful English Walnut - seeing your comment I think I am just going to roll the dice ;-) Seems crazy to go backwards . . .

I've used your methods on a few projects and it worked great! On my latest project I tried your sand to 150 then water pop method and it did not work out as well as just sanding to 120, water popping and hitting it again lightly with 120. When I water popped my walnut boards, it did not raise the grain evenly, especially near knots and I can feel this on the final product. I'm sure this is one of those "only I will ever tell things" but I can feel the texture inconsistencies when rubbing my hands over the top. I have not seen this when sanding to 120 though.

Great video, thank you! 1. What sanding grit should I use for a desk table top made from baltic birch plywood? It's already sanded at the factory but I don't know to what grit they sanded it. 2. I understand that water popping a 150-grit-sanded-wood opens the pores to have a better molecular bond and hence make the surface more durable, but could you please explain what happens to the smoothness of the wood after water popping? Will you get as smooth a result after applying the Rubio as without water popping? In other words, are durability and smoothness opposite tradeoffs, or is the surface both durable and smooth?
