RUBIO MONOCOAT Oil Plus 2C is a unique timber finish unlike any other. It is a zero VOC oil that chemically bonds to the surface layer of raw wood making it water and stain repellent. It's value lies in the ease of a one coat finish - especially on large areas requiring a stain finish. No overlap marks, no grain rise, no sanding between coats, no second coat!

Durability: is very good when applied and maintained as directed. See a review by Pete's Hardwood Floors of the product durability.

Vapour Permeability: is good

Preparation: because this is a low build finish that only combines with the surface raw fibres of the wood. it is important to prepare the wood in the correct manner, so enough product is absorbed and it bonds well to the timber.

This involves sanding to 80 or 100 grit only, removing all dust thoroughly with a good vacuum, then cleaning it with RUBIO MONOCOAT Raw Wood Cleaner - an evaporative cleaner that removes the last traces of dust and natural oils from the surface.

Application: mix component A + B in ratio of 3:1. Apply by hand with a cloth or pad, or low speed buffer on floors. Leave to penetrate for 10mins then wipe off excess.
