  • I need someone to come and oil/wax my worktops. I don't have time. Who should I be calling? Se London.

  • What's the current finish on yours?
    I've only ever used cheap mineral oil (manufacturer recommended) on ours. Pour it on (get the thinner stuff) let sit, wipe off. Ours lasts about 6 months of medium use. By the way, our counters are 'restaurant quality' maple, meaning not bespoke fanciness, but still 1 3/4" thick and much tougher than Ikea or equivalent.

  • Danish oil.
    About 1 year since applying. Oak. Thick staves. 2 inch?

    Anyway. It's a piece of piss to do but I don't have the time to fine sand, clean up, put multiple coats of tung oil/Danish oil on.
