Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus SAVANNA Part A

We do not recommend using Oil Plus 2C on cutting boards or butcher blocks that will be used for cutting.

Rubio Monocoat oil forms a molecular bond with the topmost microns of the wood. A knife can cut deeper than the product penetrates, leaving raw wood exposed and susceptible to mold and or bacteria growth.

However, as our product is safe to use on food surfaces, it is acceptable to use on charcuterie and serving boards.

We cannot guarantee adhesion, so you must discuss this with the lacquer manufacturer. 

No, Oil Plus 2C must come in contact with raw cellulose in order to properly work. 

Universal Maintenance Oil can be applied over Oil Plus 2C to increase the sheen level by 6-8%. Universal Maintenance Oil should not be applied to raw wood. 

You can use Universal Maintenance Oil 48 hours after the proper application of Oil Plus 2C. 

Because the product will not bond to itself, multiple coats are not needed. On softer species like walnut, a second application may be necessary to make sure that all areas have fully had the opportunity to react with the oil. 

Yes, wood floors finished with Oil Plus 2C can be covered with a non-staining construction paper 48 hours after application.

Please remember:

• Never tape directly to the floor.
• Only tape paper to paper.
• Covering the floor will extend the cure time.

A lifetime with proper maintenance. We would expect the first maintenance to be needed somewhere between 2 and 5 years depending on wear.
