Barrettine Armourflex Worktop Oil - Matt Finish - 500ml

Yes, Barrettine Armourflex Worktop Oil is certified Food & Toy Safe (EN1186), making it perfectly suitable for kitchen worktops and dining tables.

The oil is touch dry in approximately 4 hours under average conditions. For full curing and optimal durability, it's best to allow it to dry overnight before putting the surface back into heavy use.

It is suitable for all types of solid wood and premium veneers. It is not recommended for use on laminate or other man-made surfaces.

Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners. Minor scratches can be spot repaired by applying a small amount of oil to a lint-free cloth and rubbing into the affected area.

Stir the oil thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a short pile roller, good quality brush, or a lint-free cloth. Avoid over-applying, as this can lead to issues with drying and the final finish.

The oil provides a natural, non-reflective matt finish that enhances the wood's inherent tones without adding gloss.

Over-application can result in a sticky surface, prolonged drying times, and a compromised finish. Always aim for thin, even coats and wipe away any excess.

Barrettine Armourflex Worktop Oil is manufactured in the UK.

This is often due to over-application or insufficient stirring. Ensure you apply thin, even coats and stir the product thoroughly. For existing patches, lightly sand the affected area and reapply a very thin coat.

This indicates the oil has not cured properly, likely due to excess application or low ambient temperature/high humidity. Ensure thin coats were applied. If still wet, wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using the surface until fully cured.

The oil naturally deepens the wood's tone. If the result is darker than desired, you may have applied too much oil or the wood is highly absorbent. For future applications, consider using even thinner coats or a pre-treatment designed to maintain lighter tones. Existing applications cannot be easily lightened without sanding.

Ensure sufficient coats were applied and fully cured. If the finish is still not providing adequate protection, a further thin coat may be needed. Check for any missed spots or areas where the finish may have worn thin.
