Hi, it didn’t take too long if you have a sander but it can take 5 or 10 minutes. I hope that answers your question.

Thanks so much for this brilliantly helpful video. Followed your excellent instructions step by step and our countertops are almost as good as new. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your skills.

Great to hear that. They should last quite awhile, mine are still holding up and I haven’t needed to re oil them yet.

A small tip like what I've done is get some glass chopping boards and these protects the surface for longer and you still see the finished oak through the glass chopping board. Thanks

Hello Angus great video very informative. Btw can you explain how long it took you to sand each section? How long when the first time and how long it took to do the second time? I'd really appreciate it if you can tell. I know you said it took longer to do the island due to the extra staining etc. Thanks

Thank you Angus! Useful video! Do you reckon it will help with stain related to abrasive product like baking soda? I also deep clean my oven with a product that touch the wood and created stains. What do you think?

@AngusMcGregor 6 ай бұрын

He could try baking soda it probably won’t harm the wood however it may take up the wood seal and will need to be resealed sooner. You have to be careful with harsh products when cleaning your oven. You could try covering your worktops before you use cleaning products on your oven.

Hi Angus great tips but ive got a really bad patch I cant seem to sort out - can you put oil work top sealant over varnish ?

@AngusMcGregor 27 күн бұрын

You will need to take the varnish off first. You can use turpentine as I have done in a section on this video. Then sand it down. Then put your oil on.

Hey, I’m just about to attempt this and there’s so many conflicting methods! How long did you wait between each coat because some say 8 hours, some 24 and some 20 minutes! Cheers :D

I let this dry between the 1st 2 coats for 10 mins 6:33. After 90mins I found some dry patches and needed to go over it again 7:30. I left it to dry over night 8:59 before I started using the work tops again. Just check what it states on your danish oil instructions.

Didn’t it raise the grain when you cleaned with a damp cloth? When I did this mine became really rough and needed sanding again 🙄 Honestly I love my wooden worktops but always seem to have issue with the oil not drying properly.

Mine was okay as it is bamboo. I made sure the cloth was not too damp but just enough to pick up any lose saw dust.

I desperately need to do this to mine, but I'm terrified the sander will leave track marks. any tips on how to avoid this. I need to sand it all back because I want to use a different oil from the original (IKEA and crap) oil.

If you use an orbital sander on medium to fine grade it should be okay. or sand by hand using a block with a medium to fine grade sand paper. All the best with yours.

It took me about 2 hours in total including the sanding and sealing the worktops. Clearing the area 10mins,Sanding 45mins. Wiping and hoovering sawdust 15mins.sealing 10mins each coat. As this was a large area it took longer. Where maintained this recently it only took 20mins to do.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aN99e8h1qdSUlac.htmlsi=F12kbn9OOJjSNN5s

I didn’t sand between coats as it would create more sawdust and stick to the surface. Once the sanding is done I made sure there was no dust for before the oiling stage.

@AngusMcGregor sorry to keep asking questions but I'm just doing it now and got a couple more. Do I have to go with the grain or can I go against, in circles, etc? And also if I'm going over tough bits more than other bits is that okay or will it lead to dips in the surface where patches have been sanded loads more than others due to getting stains out etc?

@AngusMcGregor Ай бұрын

@@laurenbrizon Hi. Go with the grain. Are you using an orbital sander it doesn’t really matter too much but just work in even motion. If you are concentrating on one area just keep the sander moving to avoid an indentation. Run your fingers over the are to feel if you have caused and indentation. If you have juts sand it out by sanding round the area with an even motion for even coverage.

@laurenbrizon Ай бұрын

@AngusMcGregor okay thank you that makes sense! How often do you change the sanding paper? I couldn't tell just by touch if it needed changing but when I did it seemed to work better straight away, but I'd only used the first pad for about 10 mins or so... promise that's the last question!! Thank you so much for all the replies I really appreciate it!

Do you think it was better with the cup rings and the stains? The bamboo worktops have got a natural embellishments in or they look like embellishments but they’re not they’re part of the bamboo woodgrain. That’s maybe what are you seeing.

@jennifersmall1998 Жыл бұрын

Wooden work tops should not be oiled. It doesn’t work, and you have to keep doing it. What you need to do is coat with Ronseal diamond hard glaze Matt spirit based polyurethane. Three coats , sanding between each coat. This method lasted ten years before I had to do it again. There were no ring marks , or any marks really, just looked tired. No black water marks either round the tap. STOP OILING!!!!
