I did a repair on the Rubio on my kitchen counter and it was beautiful and so easy and simple. I am in love with this stuff.
Just used Rubio for the first time on my coffee table build. Just like you, I am very happy with the product👍 Good to know that it refinishes well as well. Thanks for sharing 👍
You’re welcome
Nice vid. It is always useful to see how a finish holds up after a year. The refinish work is easy - just as you showed. Nice table too!
Thank you!
The grease remover from Rubio works really well for removing marker stains.
I’ve never told you thank you for teaching me how to make shaker cabinet doors. I painted my kitchen cabinets and made new shaker doors. 26 to be exact! It turned out fabulous! We just should our home for well over the asking price and I know it was because the kitchen showed so well. Thanks again!
So glad to hear that
Thanks to you i'm doing my original 1950's stair hand rail with charcoal monocoat. Thanks for the vids.
You’re welcome
Glad to see! I have a couple customer projects out there with oil plus 2C. They are very happy so far also!
I have been very pleased with it
Used Rubio on floors so we end up spot fixing on worm areas and blends in well. So fyi future reference you may not need to sand entire surface!
Thanks for the video! Rubio looks like a great finish. Love that it is a durable and easily fixable finish.
You’re welcome
Great video. With two little kids, my kitchen table is destroyed. I might to try Rubio. Looks straight forward. Thanks!
Very easy for sure
Great video Jason! I literally just came in from the shop where I was refinishing my coffee table with Pure 2C. Super easy application and the shop smells great! LOL. Thanks for all the tips!
No problem buddy!
I just finished my office desk. it was a redwood slab. I used regular odorless mineral spirits to clean it instead of their cleaner and it worked as good. I am not sure how their cleaner is any different. Apart from that it's an absolutely gorgeous finish I have ever used and so easy to use! This was my first woodworking project and Rubio made it very easy.
Which finish did you use? About to stain/seal a redwood slab desk too!
@@mattmo91 used rubio monocoat pure. I used 2 coats.
@@ashutoshsrivastava303 Nice! You happy with the results?
@@mattmo91 yup.. quite a lot. I have also used it on a cottonwood slab... If you want a satin finish, this is hard to beat
Beautiful table & great finish. I am going to look into using Rubio on my next project! Thanks for the heads up! 👍👍😉😉
You’re welcome
I love you bro, watching your videos are really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you!!!
Looks good, just ordered some for a table and benches in oak I've made, looks like a commercial alternative to spray polishing and lacquers, good video 👍
If you would have used Osmo polyx you could have removed the sharpie marker with out sanding at all. Check it out. And no mixing like Rubio
Agree 100%.
After ten years of using Osmo and having black mould appearing every year , I definitely wouldn’t recommend Osmo products at all .
@@june-we2wi That's weird. Osmo has been used for decades in Europe. It was actually designed in Europe for hardwood floors. I've never had that issue.
@@chrispokorney6801 Well I can only speak for our experiences with it and it happened 3 years running . Not only that a man on RUclips found numerous others with the same problem , and each photo was showing exact same thing happening .
The ease of repair alone makes it worth it. great video
Thank you
I havent tried a hardwax oil yet. I like the idea for a piece that wont get much wear. For a table though, I wouldnt want to have to do this that often. I just finished a walnut coffee table. polymerized tung oil/varnish blend (danish oil) to wet sand and fill the pores/seal. Then a few coats of wiping varnish or even a few more coats of the danish oil provides a lot more protection than the hardwax oil but is easy to repair if and when it needs it. Tung oil is great for moisture resistance and after the wood is sealed, it starts to build a nice sheen. Not to mention better wear resistance then the HWO's. So far it's my favorite finish.
Looking forward to trying the HWO for some picture display shelves soon.
This is my favorite finish for a durable, velvet feeling table top. Wet sanding with the home made danish oil on there makes an amazing feeling finish. When I mix up my own danish, sometimes I even tint the first coat with an oil based stain. 🤟
But I am using Rubio on 16 new ash doors. Its perfect for something like that
Thanks for taking the time to do a review of the Rubio monocoat. It looks like it heald up great! Love that table too!
Thank you!
Very cool yeah I made an expandable dining table 40’ x 72 - 102” using Rubio oil plus 2C Cotton White solid Ash for my daughter and she sat a planter on it and water had drained outta the pot onto the table and sat there awhile staining it 😱 🙄 so I gotta sand ir down and spot traet it next week so we’ll see how that goes
Interested on the results
Quick tip: WD-40 can remove permanent marker/sharpie. I’ve done this before and it worked really well. Regardless, thanks for sharing this information.
Good tip!
rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer is less messy.
@@whitexeno And less stinky!
Another trick for removing sharpies is to write over it with a sharpie and quickly wipe it off before it dries.
But I’ve also used wd-40 too.
I only use Conversion Varnish on my table tops. Its almost bullet proof. But I would like to try this Rubio out to see how it holds up. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh man, I always make a huge mess with Rubio, but I have about 500 baby medicine syringes I could easily use for this purpose. Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome
Loved the follow up. I finished a coffee table that the kids leave stuff on that gets wiped heavily nearly every day. After 2 years I refinished it in less than 30m to its original condition. I put a coat of maintenance oil on top as well this time, so we’ll see if that makes any difference.
Yeah I really love how easy it is.
Thanks for showing this, great video.
You’re welcome
1st off: Amazing demo on the Rubio
2nd: Drinking game challence? 1 shot for every time Jason says Rubio 😂
How does rubio compare in toughness and protection conpared to poly?
My dining room table desperately needs to be refinished and I have been putting it off. But that is too easy. Looks like I'll be finally doing it.
Give it a shot!
Nice table!! Good work!! Love your content..🤜🏽
Thank you
Created for floors, so it makes sense it would wear well.
Great video, very informative!
I found rubbing alcohol can sometimes wipe Sharpie off. You can try next time if your son does it again.
Rubio kills it on walnut, looks great
Non-acetone nail polish remover does a good job on Sharpie ink.
Beautiful work
Thank you
Thanks for the video 🙏
What you added was not a „hardener“, but an accelerator, right? Sorry, I am new to this. So the only thing the accelerator does it speed up the drying process, right?
Just bought the Pure for my custom made corner desk. Very curious to see how it holds up - looks like average use is no big deal for Rubio! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the info, man!
You’re welcome
Do you know if Rubio has a UV protection aspect? I can’t find anything online. My table will be in a large window space and I’m worried about it yellowing over time.
have you found an answer to that?
@@meuhey no, but I have had my table in the window for about a month and no yellowing so far. At least nothing that I’ve noticed.
Great video, i always look forward to your videos. Very clear, practical advise that is easy to apply to my hobby. Thanks again and keep them coming
Glad you found it helpful
Remove sharpie, with sharpie. Color over it. No problems removing it.
standard white board markers will remove Sharpe pen marks too. just draw over the top and wipe off
Isn’t one major selling point of the Rubio it’s repairability? That you can just spot sand and spot reapply the finish?
hi try using a non permanent marker to remove the sharpie if it happens again. also bug spray works to remove it.
Will do! Thank you 👍
@@bentswoodworking dry erase marker will remove sharpie from just about anything
FYI ethanol or rubbing alcohol easily remove sharpy marker.
Isopropyl alcohol can remove permanent marker if the surface is ight. Woodgrain may hold some color. Your mileage may vary in your situation.
Thanks for this! I’ve been contemplating Rubio Monocoat for a while. This video definitely makes that decision easy!
I think you will enjoy using it
Ha! My son at 3-4 years old decided to grab a rock and draw some pics for dad on his car!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man, I know those days are coming for me 🤣
Jason, have you ever tried Rubio on plywood? If so, how did it turn out? Process the same? Thoughts? Stay safe.
I have and I apply it in the same manor.
Awesome. Do you have a link to those buffing pads?
I don’t but I got them from the Rubio site. 👍👍
Just fyi they aren’t buffing pads they are applicator pads and you can find them on rubios site. Bit expensive if you ask be, a standard stain applicator from HD would be just fine. However I suppose when your spending $200+ on the plus 2C what’s another $16 for the pads lol.
3M polishing pads on Amazon
Zippo lighter fluid would make short work of that sharpie. I keep a small can specifically for cleaning rather than fuel.
FYI if you draw over a sharpie marker with dry erase you can get almost all of it off. For the next thing someone's kid draws on.
Hey Marshall glad to see you again:) Himym is the best tv show ever and your woodworking is perfect as your acting. May I ask; if I use RubioMonocoat COLORING (walnut color) on pine wood,
1. will I get a result better than wood stain products? (Which seems to be real hard to get an even colored surface due to pine's structure.)
2. will it need a hard covering finishing? As I learned the pine is a soft wood and easily scratched.
note: I wont be able to test any of the products, so your trustworthy recommendation is important before ordering. Thanks for the great informative channel.
Thanks for the update. I'm about to build a walnut table and was going to try Rubio. Was a single coat enough for the refinishing? I've seen on your and other videos that suggest a second coat on walnut.
I just did a single coat this time
Damnit. Ok fine, I'm doing mine again today and tomorrow.
Have you ever used the Rubio maintenance oil over Pure 2C? And if so, how often do you have to re-apply with just normal use (for an office desk in my case)? Thanks!
I have not used it yet
Jason, how is your festool trac attached to your garage door? Good video!
They are made by fast cap
Beautiful table! Thank you for the video. Have you put anything on top of the Rubio such as wax or a ceramic coating?
I have not. It is not recommended.
Great follow-up, thanks Jason (I remember watching that table build). Can you think of times when you wouldn't use Rubio?
Totally depends on what you are going for. Example, if you wanted a gloss finish, it’s totally out of the question.
I'm not at all at Jason's level, but I've learned that I won't use Rubio on something that gets heavy use. It's perfect for the walnut paneling in my office cuz it doesn't get touched much.
@@nickbailey202 Considering that Rubio comes from the world of floor finishing, I'm curious why you say that. I have no issues with using Rubio on pieces that get heavy use, in fact, I prefer it. It's very simple and easy to repair those pieces that ultimately get damaged, and for me, it holds up extremely well.
@@AlAmantea That's great! A lot of people love it.
came across your channel by accident...thank you for making the video! have you used it on floors? wonder if it will hold up...but just love the natural look it captures.
I haven’t used it on floors but that is what it is designed for
@@bentswoodworking.Thank you! You are so talented!
Now I need that Festool positioning guide. Ugh! I'm down the rabbit hole.
Did you try the Rubio Cleaner? Otherwise, love that stuff and good video!
Hi Jason, this is a great review as I am planning on using Rubio on my next project. It appears to be easy to apply.
Question: What Festool Sander did you use to remove the finish?
ETs EC 150/5
Jason, a very helpful video. I see Rubio also makes exterior finishes. I have a mahogany front door (New England) that faces north. Any thoughts on how Rubio would hold up?
I have not tried it but I would like too
positive feedback for the algorithm. the other commenters have said it all
Beautiful table! Tried to find a build video on it but couldn’t. What species of wood is it?
Thank you! This is walnut - the table build is one of my earlier videos. I also sell plans for this table on my website. www.bentswoodworking.com
Great video. Building my first live edge too. Will be utilized outdoors in Tennessee. Is Rubio, a viable option?
They make an actual outdoor finish
I have a question? My husband and I have a solid oak, 1.5" thick double pedestal (3 leaves that extends with geared slides) table that we bought 25 years ago, it was hand made by an Amish man in Ontario where we lived at the time. The top of the table really needs to be refinished, we have 3 sons and it has seen quite a bit of abuse over the years by them and me! I have no clue what he used to finish it but I am quite certain it wasn't Rubio, if I give the top a nice sanding can Rubio be used over this? Or would I have to use a poly?? I am extremally handy and want to do this myself instead of paying someone else to do it.
Would this be a good coating on stairs? White oak is the species.
Looks easy enough. You have me convinced. Thanks!
Hi Jason. I was wondering if I used a paste wax over my Rubio 2C-finished walnut table if that would improve the protection from water stains but still keep the ability to spot repair if/when needed. Ever tried this? I’ve also seen ceramic coating videos-would that be better than paste wax? Thanks for all your help and your videos!!
Wax I wouldn’t. Supposedly the Ceramic coating can be but Rubio would tell you not too
Very helpful. Thanks Jason. Does Rubio come in different sheens like glossy?
No, if you’re looking for gloss Rubio definitely isn’t an option
Can't wait for Leo to mark the table again after you've resurfaced it lol!
He better not 🤣🤣
The black sharpie marks didn't look great, maybe blue sharpie marks would go better with the natural walnut finish?
@@stephanekiss Blue sharpie definitely goes better with Walnut! Lmao
Hi Ben, I’m about to re-oil my van’s Bamboo cabinets. They have some curves. How best to sand? By hand or sander for uniformity? Please send link to your favorite finish sander.
isopropyl alcohol will remove sharpie for anyone wondering, not sure what it would do to the finish 🤷
I have a question…..
I’m making a table and was not planning on using Rubio but would like to now.
The question I have is that I sanded it to 220 and understand that it shouldn’t be past 120.
If I pop the grain with water at 220 will that be enough for Rubio to work?
Also, once applied is there any other sanding that needs to be done for a smooth finish?
Thank you
How good would Rubio perform aesthetically if you merely sanded little areas of the sharpie marker out (did not sand the entire piece), then touched it up with Rubio?
My thought process is to sand the table top every 5-10 years for a complete refinish, and touch-up applications in the interim with Rubio. Of course kiddos will change that cycle 😂. Just curious if a re-sanding is necessary always. Great follow up to your original lesson 👍
Rubio can be spot finished. I have tested it a couple times with good results
Beautiful
Use some rubbing alcohol on the ink. It should remove it.
Can this be used over wood stain or do you have to use their colored finish
Their colored finish
I have a walnut desktop a friend helped me build that we applied one coat of tung oil to, before I decided I didn't want to mess with the upkeep of tung oil in the long term. I've already sanded it down; would you say I can apply Rubio to it now or am I just out of luck at this point?
I would ask Rubio
Two things: I just finished a white oak table top with Pure and the buffer pulled a little chip out of it. Not happy, so I am going to refinish the whole top. Or would you just do a spot? Thanks for making it look easy. Second, did you consider trying to remove the Marker by going over it with erasable marker for a dry erase board? On a slick surface you can lift permanent marker off with a dry erase one and a paper towel.
I have spot treated with good results. As for sanding the whole top, I just chose to do the whole thing cause it is so simple to do
How does this finish's performance compare to Rubio DuroGrit?
Not sure, never used it
I know everyone thinks this sort of stuff is harmless nice smelling all natural linseed oil. However, the hardener contains isocyante. I do wish people would wear gloves as it can cause allergic reactions. Also, you don't want to be breathing in too much of that stuff as it is not good for the lungs either so well ventilated space or mask.
Did you consider dry erase markers? They have a solvent that breaks down "permanent" ink?
Hey there Jason had a question for you, how much Rubio would you end up buying if you were doing a a project to something the size of your table? I did not know how long the shelf life is and did not want a lot to go to waste if I did not need or use it all. So was not sure since it seems like you said a lot goes a long way.
One of the small 350ml cans is more than enough
How does Rubio holds up against water/moisture? I have oak stair threads and was thinking to finish it with Rubio monocoat,do i need anything more to finish it ?
I’m looking to use this product on a live edge black walnut table. Will it be ok on its own for daily dinner use and any water spills? Or do you advise to coat with a polyurethane?
You cannot apply anything over the top of this finish.
Not sure if anyone said this yet but using an dry erase marker will take off sharpie just color over the sharpie and wipe off. Father of a 20 month old lol
I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks. I’m sure it will happen again 🤣
I’m sold
5:45 Can you try out Arm-R-Seal? I would be curious to know if you think this is just as good or better as far as livability on a family dining table.
Very nice!
Do you think that Rubio would be a good finish for kitchen cabinets?
I’m curious about this question myself. I know it might be overkill, but I usually do 4 coat hand sanded 3-2-1 (Thinner, Poly, Linseed). This looks so much easier and durable!
I would probably still use a more durable finish for that but I suppose you could. Would be easy to repair when needed.
@@jamaxit Im OK with overkill! A one coat solution that holds up well sounds like a winner to me, even if the cost of the finish is higher. Cabinet face frames and doors are by far a lower wear item than a table, and this table looks to be holding up quite well. I also like the idea of just sanding to a 180 and finishing, instead of 220, and then a 320 sanding between coats. Time is money, even if its just a project for myself.
@@bentswoodworking I have considered using a Danish oil type finish as well, as its simple and easy to repair when something does take a ding, which it inevitably will at some point. Im still a year out on this project, so Im just weighing options at this point. Im trying to avoid anything that will involve spraying as I dont have a good place to do that, or multiple processes. Thanks for the feedback!
@@CorwinBos Yeah I like Danish Oil too. It's just as easy as Rubio (maybe easier since it doesn't need to be mixed) and has a bit of lacquer in it to provide a bit more protection.
Hey Jason, what is that lid you're using on the accelerator? That would be a life saver with that stuff!
It’s the lid that comes on the larger set
Would this be a good finish for wood cabinets durability wise? They have a few stains I love on white oak
I don’t know if I would use them on kitchen cabinets.
What would your thoughts be about Rubio on wooden kitchen cabinets?
Upto which grit the surface has been sanded?
Hand sanitizer would have taken the sharpie off. Then you could have touched up the finish depending on what it did to the finish.
Rubio cleaner with magic eraser marker gets sharpie right out. From Rubio. Rubio renew.
Good to know, thanks!!
What kind of pad did you use to apply to the sides? Was it a magic eraser or just a white poly pad?
It’s a white none abrasive pad.
