Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C, Walnut, 350ML

Upon further review, even though the can was dented and leaking, likely from the shipping and handling, the seller provided excellent customer service and offered a partial refund. The product itself was easy to use and we loved the colour.

This is my favourite colour from Rubio, my clients always love it when I install there new cabinetry finished in this colour. Goes on so well with the squidgy and scrubby pads.

Simply the best wood finishing product. I love the look, its contrast and depth of colour etc. Its food safe and have no issues using it for cutting boards and my herringbone flooring. With that said - its not truly a mono-coat - if you want the *perfect* finish then I would recommended knocking down the first coat with some maroon pads and then applying a light second post.

Walnut is one of my favorite wood species, and for years I’ve used Rubio Pure because I didn’t think natural Walnut could be made any more beautiful than it already is. I was so very wrong. What it is: I had always thought that this was one of Rubio’s “stain” finishes in a walnut color, but this one actually just enhances the natural look of walnut. It does darken it a bit but I prefer it that way. It evens out the sapwood and just leaves an absolutely beautiful finish. What it is NOT: This specific product is NOT a stain. Meaning, it’s not like applying Minwax’s “Dark Walnut” to pine. I’d you apply this to pine, it will leave it slightly darker and yellow. In my opinion, and I’m not sure but Rubio may also say this, this “Walnut” finish just means that it is made to finish and deepen walnut and other darker wood species. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 - I use a syringe and always mix 3:1 as the instructions state, yet I ran out of hardener with more than 1/3 of the oil left. What’s the deal!? This stuff is far too expensive to not get the amount that I paid for.

Just a word to the wise—Rubio walnut looks terrible on hard maple.
