First, thank you so much for this comprehensive analysis of these products! Second, that is one of my all time favorite movies! It’s my person opinion, that there isn’t a one size fits all product and anyone of these would be fine for certain jobs. DIY Wife used Rubio stains on a huge hutch build but can’t remember if she used their 2c hard wax. Now I have to go back and watch. Again, thanks for all the time you spent on this, it was truly very informative and I was schooled on hard wax finishes! 👍🏻

Rubio does go a long way a 100ml bottle top bottom 4x8 if anything its for hobbyists should love it because it's ease of use. Price comparative when you factor in time/coats/durability factors. only 150 grit needed.

I recently used Rubio for the first time to finish a chessboard. The price was the reason I hadn't tried it sooner. But the saying "a little goes a long way" couldn't be more true when talking about Rubio. I was amazed at how little it took to finish the chessboard and how easy it is to apply. That said, I will be trying these other products in the future.

I saw a video by ENCurtis recently that was discussing differences between KZfaq/influencer woodworking channels and professional woodworking practices, and that was one of the things he mentioned. Rubio is one of the most popular finishes on KZfaq, but he said that Osmo was much more common in the professional shops he had worked in

@caseobeer 11 ай бұрын

A little goes a long way with Natura also. I recently decided to give it a try, and used 60g of finish and 20g of hardener to put two coats on a recipe box I was making. I had enough left over to give a small coffee table 2 coats as well.

The nice thing about Osmo is that they have several different options for hard wax oil (matte, satin, semi-matte, transparent, different hues). And they offer cheap samples, so I just ordered 6 of them and tested them on some birch plywood. Really affordable and nice way to pick out the specific oil that fits best with the wood species you're working on.

Marc, I took a while responding to this video because I needed the time to try your recommendations on the two "winning" hard wax oil products in your excellent test. Having used Rubio in the past, I can tell you that both of these competitors are virtually identical in their final presentation, just as you said. However, Rustic Lumber provided nearly 3x the quantity of product for the same price as the other "winner." For me, that makes it the clear choice going forward as the final results are superb and definitely a Rubio competitor, finish-wise. As always your videos are superb and informative as can be.

@josiahutah3712 10 ай бұрын

I'm glad you mentioned personal preference regarding sheen. I rely on gloss for durability. But from an aesthetics point of view, less sheen lets us see more color and grain which looks better than white light glaring back at me.

@teejay3510 11 ай бұрын

I bought a small can of Rubio and it was insanely expensive ($130/350ml), so while I had some I came up with a recipe of my own and tested it with the Rubio hardener. It worked the same. I can't tell the difference, so it works for me. I'm trying to work out where to buy the hardener by itself at reasonable cost and I'll be set. Here's the recipe: On an electric hot-plate outdoors, double boil 1/2 cup pure tung oil, 1/2 cup boiled linseed oil, 15g carnauba wax, 1.5g white (capping) beeswax until the waxes have melted and mixed in. Take off the stove to cool and while it's still warm, not hot, add 1/2 cup of citrus terpene and stir in. Cool to room temperature and put a lid on. Apply just like Rubio - sparingly, not flood coat. If you don't have a hardener it could take anywhere up to 30 days to fully cure. I have a Scandinavian oil (similar oils but no wax instead it's marine spar varnish) in the same kind of container (Ball mason jars) and it starts to go hard in the jar after a while but my hard wax oil recipe is still all liquid and mixed, hasn't separated.

@LukeB5000 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for making this video. I've been using Rubio for a few years and whilst it's a good finish, there is absolutely no reason for it to be as expensive as it is. In Australia we're paying about USD$270 for the 1.3L tin where as in the US it seems to be ~$180.

I'm glad you call Isocyante a hardener rather than the disingenuous accelerator that Rubio call it. I think Rubio would win as King of Colour. I know not often promoted on KZfaq, but they do have an amazing range of 'colors' that I'd urge everyone to take a look at rather than just using Pure on every project. Things like Black or Chocolate on walnut can look amazing.

@drvwoodworks Ай бұрын

Thanks for the thorough testing. however, Rubio requires sanding to no more than 120. You can sand to 150 with water popping. Any higher grit and you close the pores which will effect absorption. Not sure if you used the scotch bright buff pads to apply also🤔. Rubio is more of a matte natural finish to mimic natural wood look and feel with their stain. You get a much better sheen when applying sheen plus. What I might add too about Rubio is their options for color choices has far more selection available then the competition. Their sample fan deck too is awesome and impresses my clients and gives them alot of options to choose from. I feel like their color options too are more modern than the traditional choices you see with most stains including the ones you mentioned. For me as a woodworker I dont care so much about price, my primary concern is quality, ease of use and options for my clients to choose from. I have been using Rubio for some time now and the results highly impress my clients and to me thats all I need. I do thank you for bringing to light other competitors though but after researching the ones you mentioned, I prefer to stick with Rubio even though their more expensive.

Hi 👋, very interesting, when storing products, including paint, it might be worth store them upside down, making sure that the lid is on securely and tight, this is something I learnt many many years ago as I am now in the 70s. I hope there’s gonna be some help to somebody, Ps this even works with things like jam that has a tendency to grow mould on top, I keep my jam in the fridge upside down and so long as it doesn’t get contaminated with the butter or anything like that. It will stay safe for a long time… Phil from the moulin France.

Thank you so much for this excellent review! Rubio is so expensive and I'm excited to try something with less cost. I love wood working and am still learning!
