- Here’s a look at how I apply finish to charcuterie boards and other woodworking projects using Rubio Monocoat. These simple steps make it easy to use if you have been wanting to try it and it requires no specialty tools. It provides an awesome look and great protection. Rubio is extremely user friendly to use and well worth the price! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions 👍🏻

Did you mention the product being food safe?
It is food safe by European standards, which are generally much more stringent than the US. The FDA has not put their stamp of approval on it for whatever reason, but I have used this for years now and have had great safe results. I would say do your own looking into it and use your best judgement. I don’t want to give bad advice.
The Rubio Cleaner is basically mineral spirits….no sense in spending all that money on their cleaner.
To each their own. I prefer it just because I’ve had good results. I leave it up to everyone if they want to deviate from the recommended process and materials.
what grit was your final sanding?
It depends on what it is. Charcuterie boards I’ll generally do 180, 220, and finish with 320. Some like a table or etc you can get away with stopping at 220. 180 if you’re very careful.
@@whiskyrivercustomwoodworki2012 you can apply the Rubio after sanding with 220 or 320? I am a newbie and Rubio says 120-150 but I am curious what wood workers are doing. Any info would be appreciated.
this is my opinion and only that lol. Rubio to my knowledge was designed and intended for hardwood flooring. It’s a zero VOC finish that is safe for closed poorly ventilated areas. Its use along with other brands of hard wax finishes have become popular with woodworking for its ease of application, preparation, and repair of I think. I believe the 120-150 they refer to is intended for floors because you would never see the sanding scratches and in the end, it is only going to get beat up over time. I’ve finished numerous projects with it using 180 and up as my finish sanding. Knock on wood I haven’t had one fail yet in adhesion or durability. So that’s my theory behind it, but I could also be way off base so grain of salt! Does that make sense?
@@whiskyrivercustomwoodworki2012 thanks. I appreciate the advice.
Hi there! Have you ever used RMC on sapele wood? It's very red and I am wondering how to counter that and make it more walnut brown? RMC has a chart that shows PRE-color then add black but I'm frankly terrified to try that! It's urban grey plus black.
No I never have tried that. Do you have scrap that you can experiment on first? Can I ask why you didn’t use walnut if that is the look you are going for?
So ... was that Rubio Oil A? A plus B? Was there any Rubio Oil plus C used? Not sure you ever explained the product ... You just said 3 to 1.
What was used in the video was Rubio Monocoat Oil plus 2C Pure. I used both part A and part B (cure time is 7 days vs 30 days when only using part A). They are mixed 3 to 1 part A to part B.

Thanks for the quick reply. Makes perfect sense. I simply wanted to order the 20ml sample size, but, if it had no “activator”, then waste of money. Yes, I do not want to wait 30 days for my project to set up. Thanks again!
Absolutely! Glad I could help. It’s definitely pricey, but I do think it’s worth it in a lot of scenarios. Good luck with the project 👍🏻🍻
I used Rubio on board one time and didn't like it. I am not impressed with Rubio products compared to what I use. I love Shellac, Varnish and Osmo but for food boards I love Tried and True. Rubio drys hard and I think shows up cut marks because of the hard surface it leaves.
I would agree with you that Rubio might be the worst thing to use on a board that will see a knife. It’s most definitely not designed for that. I use Rubio on the serving boards only because they never see utensils. I use walrus oil and wax on my cutting boards.
@@whiskyrivercustomwoodworki2012 Thanks for the reply. I am using Tried and True on boards now, good natural product safe. The Original formula has natural linseed and wax.
I used this stuff yesterday on two mid century modern arm chairs that I'm refurbing. 30ml of the mono coat was more than enough to do both chairs with a little left over. Came out looking great. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate it, and hope it helped!
For cleaning you could also use paint thinners. Does exactly the same job at a fraction of the price!
I have used mineral spirits and didn’t notice much difference. I was just trying to show the recommended process for the product, but I will admit if I’m out of the Rubio cleaner I do use other options lol
What is that white pad you used for buffing called? It's great that it can just stick to a sander
It’s a scotch brite brand white scuffing/cleaning pad. The white ones are the equivalent to a very high grit, I can’t remember what that is at the moment though, maybe something like 5,000-6,000 grit? I’ve never had an issue with them leaving any marks after using them. Definitely super handy that you can just use them with hook-it sanders 👍🏻.
Love you got an eye for good design. I do the same but I am getting some better ideas from you.
I greatly appreciate it!! Glad I can help in anyway man 👍🏻💯
Great video sir. Thank you. Have you ever opted to use Rubio’s Maintenance oil on any of your work? And if so how long do you wait before applying and is your application process of that the same as the 2C. Thanks again 🙏
I have not used it yet. I have been doing two coats of the Rubio lately and it seems to work well on the more open grained wood so the oil hasn’t been needed. I would recommend manufacturers recommendations when applying though.
@@whiskyrivercustomwoodworki2012 gotcha. I just ordered it and will give it a shot depending on the species of wood and let ya know! Thx again.
I like the common sense approach.
Thanks! I tried to keep it simple and straight forward. No need to over complicate something that’s so easy to use.
good job
Thank you! Hope it helped or you at least enjoyed it 👍🏻🍻
@@whiskyrivercustomwoodworki2012yeah man, I did, keep up the good work, I just used rubio for the first time, I had dust come out too but I don't think it matters because the finish isn't like many others, very forgiving, I don't think it's worth the money, it is good but there are other products that does the same and is a lot cheaper, Osmo 2k for one, Natura one coat is a good one too, i think. but great job !
Great job.
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Gorgeous!
wow that's Scotch-Brite pad is pretty genius beautiful work by the way
Thanks I appreciate it! A lot of people use them and I was a little nervous to try it but once I tried it I’ll never go back.
I need to know the name of the pad. Thank you, write hear .
It's the first time im making cutting board, and I learn too much from you .thank you so much .
I did it myself thanks to Woodglut.
