Hi Tilly I always thought that the thing with Danish oil self igniting was an urban myth, until it happened to me. We're were using oil to finish some furniture we had made and during a break the cloths were left in the empty container. Luckily , we sat near the container and saw smoke raising, upon inspection, the cloth was actually smouldering. Always lay the cloth out flat to dry, don't fold or screw them up to store.
Awesome mate! if I could be one thing,inspirational is it... My best tips would be..take your time, try it out regularly through the build and enjoy it!
Thanks for watching mate.sorry it's a bit jumpy and black at times. I'm going to fresh edit and re upload as soon as I can. You should give it a try.. it really works well and is super durable.
My pastor was refinishing a coffee table and put all the wet finishing rags into the city provided plastic trash can. Next morning, there was a melted hole of about 4cm in the lid. No sign of flame on the outside, but charing on the inside. The finishing rags were singed and burnt. I just put mine on a wire line to let them dry out before I toss them.
I’m planning on doing this to a stock I also want to stipple various places on the laminate. Should I stipple first then oil it or stipple after like when they checker??
Hi Tilly, thanks for the superb information regarding oiling stocks. Just a quick question, does this apply to all wood types? As I'm wanting to treat my Air Arms Pro Sport walnut stock to get the most out of the walnut. What would you recommend? Doing the same as this video or different oils or waxes etc? I've already used walnut oil giving 20 to 30 coats plus 2 light coats of Birchwood Casey gun stock wax, but it's not quite the results I'm after. Thanks
Hi ive just looked on ebay to order scotchbright. Is it 600 or 800 grit as they are both grey. Love your videos btw. I am getting good tips from you. Thankyou
Hiya, ah that's interesting about 600 or 800, the mirka brand silver grey scotchbrite is 1500g equivalent. That's the stuff to use. Please don't use wire wool though. Small bits of it can break off in the grain and a year down the line you will get rusty specks appear. Thanks for watching and sorry its all a bit jumpy and blacks out a bit 😬

Iv never seen or done anything with oils like this and iv gotta be honest it's got me thinking and interested in it since watching you doing it
Have a go mate,take your time and make sure coats are fully dry and you can't go too far wrong
Looking forward to fitting those to my stock,stunning!!!
I'll have them on the way tommorow hopefully mate. No idea why the video is dodgy in places we are re editing it again and will upload it again 😬
Looks terrific 👍. Never tried a Hybrid finish, always used Danish, seeing your results I think I will have to give it a go. Thanks

Oh mate if only I was as good at editing video as stock work 😆
The whole video is corrupted this end and it's all gone weird..
