Stain and Finishing Oil (SFO)

Homestead House’s (home of Fusion Mineral Paint) Stain & Finishing Oil All in One does just as it says! It adds colour and a sealing oil at the same time!

This oil is so easy to use!  The pigment in it stains your wood accentuating the grain.

With a combination of natural oils and resins that penetrate into the wood fibres to create a durable, scratch resistant and waterproof finish. It does not leave a surface film that sits on top, rather it soaks in and becomes part of your wood. It is ideal for wooden table tops as it has excellent resistance to abrasions and can be washed over and over again!

It can also be used over Fusion Mineral Paint to deepen, age or accentuate the base colour, Please allow 2-3 days after painting before applying your chosen SFO.

This is a highly concentrated oil blend so a little goes a long way!

This 237ml container will cover what 1 litre of comparable stains do on the market giving you 2 - 3 times more coverage than any water-based stains.

Stain & Finishing Oil is composed of plant products, Safflower oil, Tung oil, Linseed oil, Vegetable wax, safe odourless mineral solvent and cobalt free siccative which means effective drying without toxic cobalt dryers while being low odour in comparison to traditional solvent based stains.

Apply with a brush or lint free cloth following the grain of the timber. After approx 5-15 minutes (depending on room temperature), thoroughly remove the excess with a clean sponge cloth, lint free cloth or kitchen roll. Allow to dry and if a second coat is required, apply as per the first coat the next day. A minimum of 2-3 coats is advised. If you do not want to deepen your colour, apply a coat or two of the Natural/Clear for extra durability.
