Good morning all
I have been asked to sand an existing oak kitchen worktop
What would you recommend to reseal it with, osmo top oil ?????
Many thanks

I used Osmo in my last house, it was fine. The beauty of it being that it is easy to touch up if it does mark - and in a cooked in kitchen, it'll get marked.

I recently did a french polishing class and the tutor recommended Blanchon Hard Wax Oil for kitchen worktops.

The Osmo is a hard wax oil, so I suspect he was just being brand friendly.

Yes. Fiddes is good as well.

You are correct. The tutor stressed his preference for Blanchon as in his experience it seemed to dry quicker but I guess each person would have their favourite brand.

I'm game if it's quicker than the Osmo rapid stuff. Any idea on drying times? I hate waiting
