Hi from Luxembourg, for a long time I have been watching and practicing wood. It’s just happiness to have a teacher like you for technique. Thank you for your time to teach us
I’m enjoying the weekly video drops. Finishing is both cool and boring - love how it is finished, but all the prep work can be boring, yet woodworking is like a marathon. If you push through the less exciting parts, you’ll have an amazing end product. Looking forward to next week’s installment 😊
I was going to give mine away, i prefer Odies oil quite honestly. I love that theres no limit to how high you cam sand. I love their pigment system, i think it looks better. But after seeing this im mot giving up on the rubio. Very nice. Youre an amazing teacher Mr. Sedge
I'm eagerly waiting to see the final results. You mentioned several times in the video that you would show how to handle the checking and cracks. I don't recall seeing how you treated these.
I always do a 2nd coat (yeah I know it's a "mono coat" product) to really get the finish dialed in. it will be absolutely consistent with no dry spots or blotching or other artifacts caused by different parts of the wood grain soaking up differing amounts of oil. I wait a day and then run a quick buff with a maroon pad followed by another coat - use way less for the 2nd coat because the wood's already soaked up almost all it will with the first coat. I start with about 1/4 of what I used for the first coat. Cam over at Blacktail Studios (the live-edge table guy) swears by this process and it's worked for me without fail.
With the oil, you only sand to 120g. The water popping raised the fibers to help grab and trap the finish. You can hit it with a handpad once cured and it's perfect.
Holy crap that's a LOT of Rubio.... You could have mixed 1/4 of that can and done that table!!! Once you mix in the accelerator, you MUST use the finish or it'll go bad in 24 hrs. Only mix what you think you need. You can always mix more, but you can't unmix it! I use a bondo spreader to apply the oil because if you use a white pad for initial application, the oil soaks into the pad instead of the wood. You get way better coverage using a spreader. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, then put a white vlies pad on your Rotex and work it into the surface. Wipe it down after that until it's dry to the touch.
I’ve been so disappointed with Rubio, I love the way the finish looks, but it just doesn’t stand up well to liquids. So great for a show piece, but I just can’t for a functional piece.
3:30 Not for nothing, you went the wrong direction with your ratio. You started out correctly, that you would need 91ml of part B to make a 3:1 ratio with 275ml of part A. 275:91 = 3:1. You added another 25ml to part A to make the ratio 300:75. That is 4:1. If you want to keep the math easy, you would need another 25ml of part B to make it 300:100. Immediately evident as 3:1. Or, you could get awful close by adding 25ml of part B to the mix. for 275:100 which is 11:4, very close to 3:1. I guess this finish works if you are close with the hardener. Yours probably just cures slower.

Wow, thank you!
You always seem to have the best timing, for my projects 😀. I'm trying Rubio Monocoat for the first time this coming weekend. This is very helpful.
Have fun!

Glad you like them!
Looking awesome!!
Thanks!
Really glad you mentioned oily rags are highly flammable. Nobody in my family takes that seriously
:-P
They should … I almost caught my shop on fire once … it is not a myth as some think !!

Thank you....
How did you attack the cracks? Steve
I used a chip brush to get into the cracks...
very nice! great looking finish! I know you were doing videos but i would've had the tunes cranking throughout!
Next time

sorry...I used a chip brush to apply Rubio down in the cracks and checks...

cool ... thanks for the advice !!!
Holy chatoyancy!
You make me laugh Victor !!! Thanks !!!!
Why didn’t you sand after you water popped? It will feel smoother if you’re removing all those fibers you raised on the surface
With the oil, you only sand to 120g. The water popping raised the fibers to help grab and trap the finish. You can hit it with a handpad once cured and it's perfect.
opening up the pores water popping and then sanding defeats the purpose
@@sedgetoolI’m guessing this is a tip you learned from Noah when you guys were building the ark. 🫠
i think rubio might be in some trouble in the future.There is a few hard wax finishes out now that do the same as rubio for alot less money.
ok
What's pale water made of? Hydrogen peroxide? 3%? 10%?
The water pop is just water ... I put all rags in a a PAIL of water....

worked great

I will let you know about how it stands up in 6 months ...will do another video..Thanks for sharing !!!
@@sedgetool - Please do! I really enjoy all your demos and would love to see how your experiences compare to mine.
