billytheghillie Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Will soon be getting a new plate rack ( wall mounted ) made from pine. Question is, what do I use to protect it? A stain or wax as the wood looks nice and dont want to darken it. All suggestions welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akka Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I just used Osmo neutral on a pine table top. It seems good so far, hard wearing and wipes clean easily. You just need to put very small amounts on at a time. I did 3 coats. There are YouTube videos showing how to apply it.

Old Boggy Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Our oak kitchen work tops were initially treated with around five coats of Osmo and have since had a couple of coats in the seven years and have remained like new. In contrast, my son in law was advised to use Danish oil on his and he is forever rubbing down removing stains etc after only having been installed for three years. My advice for him to use Osmo was ignored ! The younger generation always have to learn by their own mistakes and we know nothing it would seem. Osmo oil would therefore be my choice on the OP’s pine. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmo isn’t I don’t think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me wondering, so I thought that I`d better check and attach a photo of what we`ve used. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
