Straight to the point. You are an excellent teacher. When I saw this was a 16 min video I initially cringed thinking 12 minutes would be anecdotal stories and 4 minutes of useful intel. But this was time well spent and it seems others below have also noted your strength in this. So I wanted to compliment you and say Thank You!😁
So - leaving a comment 4 years after the post was made😂 Great video, great tutorial, great information! Been a carpenter and builder for 3o odd years. A co-worker recently recommended Rubio '2c' for a 'coffe river table' finish, topping of with their finishing oil. So, visited a demonstration in Malmö (southern Sweden). While being well informed there by a great salesman, your input is as great as it comes! Having used a lot of different products over the years (incl 'danish oil'), I am totally convinced of Rubio being a superior product. Thanks, a great video. Merry Christmas 2023 😊❤
I love your videos, however, the sound seems far lower volume from most others. I have full volume and still a bit difficult if there is any background noise at all. Keep up your good work and videos.
I always thought the squeegee was the only way. Nice to learn a better way. Can you post a link to the buffing block and handle, please? I'm having hard time finding them. Thanks!
I finally found Rubio after years of messing around with various finishes for the walnut dining table I built (Tung oil, carnuba wax, Emmett's good Stuff.) I was never happy with the finish and drink rings are (were) my nemesis. This stuff is spectacular. If only I'd known about it 20 years ago. Made my table look like new and I'm about to refinish my mom's oak dining table (with my new Festool sander!) and will definitely be using this on it. Thanks for the refresher!
Just tested my first batch of the Rubio and I’m way more pumped on the color saturation and feel than I was expecting. Going to let it cure for a week and see bit I think this will be a great finish for our mid century kitchen cabinet rehab. Thanks for the clear instructions. Straight to the point.
great video on the Rubio. I used it on a large lazy susan and i hated it. It seemed really dull and patchy so i'm gonna have to try a second coat from now on. I also didn't use the applicator pad, i just used a rag and rubbed it in well. It is very hard to get a good video showing a proper process and you nailed it. Cheers and thanks for the video!!
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Thank you so much, really great helpful video for using this product on smaller items. Planning on getting a butcher block desktop and I think this is the finish I will go with for it. Thanks again!
How'd it go for you? I'm working on a butcher block right now desktop right now. Apprehensive about a second coat but feel like I may not have let the first coat bond for long enough, or wiped too much off. Nervous about getting the details for the second coat perfect 😶🌫️
@@bentswoodworking My nephew wanted me to finish his new oak table slab. I told him to drop it off with whatever finish he preferred. He brought Rubio. Looks easier than Poly now.
Jason, thanks for the info. I've seen it used before but never really understood much about it. I'll keep this video in mind when I'm ready to use the product in the future.
Thanks for the video very informative..., I’ve been a little hesitant to use this product but seeing this video , I’m sure I can apply on my next project. Thanks again!
Great videos especially about the Rubio Monocoat application. Just about to do my first Monocoat 2C Plus Pure finish on a walnut bath caddy/tray with Ecopoxy FlowCast SPR. Quick newbie question…I have the white 3M pad as well as the maroon 3M pad. Is the 3M white pad similar (but thinner) to the white application pad that you used to apply the Rubio? And is the 3M maroon pad similar to the one that you used. Thank you again for your excellent videos…I’m continuing to learn every day
Wonderful explanation of the steps. Building a live edge white oak kitchen table, using Rubio oil plus, 2c. What are your thoughts in using the Rubio Universal Maintenance material for the final coat?
I am looking that the Ceruse products from Rubio and that search returned me to your Video nice demo of the Oil Plus 2C which according to the walk thru on the Rubio Monocoat website is one of the steps for Ceruse of Oak and several other hardwoods.
Awesome video thanks. Came here via Rubio as I have been looking for a product to finish drum shells. Really taken by your knowledge and teaching style. Have been watching your videos for the last hour lol. Thanks very much
I only had 320 grit to use on a sofa/end tables I just finished; I thought I'd give it a go and see how the finish turned out, and it was still great. Rubio is such a good product, I think it's hard to screw up!
I am making a dinning room set for my son in white oak and he wants the oak to to have little color change and to be as light in color as possible would rubio work and which one? Great presentation and I am a new subscriber.
Great video and very in-depth. I was looking for something for a cherry coffee table that I’m building and I think this might be just the ticket! Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Thanks for these great Rubio videos (and your many others.) Just finished with Rubio for the first time on a pretty spectacular walnut free edge bookmatched dining table, and before each and every step of the finishing process I reviewed the applicable segment of your video as tutorial. I got a beautiful natural result and no doubt avoided a number of newbie errors that could have turned my project into a frantic nightmare. Felt like you were right there giving me instructions mano a mano. Thank you!
@@garrettjones1699 Spectacular transformation! IMO, 2 coats definitely called for, but result is fantastic if you simply follow the steps here. My client was wild about the finished piece. You can see pics in my IG feed (@michaelschuler.carpentry.tools) including this one at client's home: instagram.com/p/CSB3co1Lq8M/?
@@garrettjones1699 Thanks! The build was a blast from the past for me. I hadn't done any client furniture making for decades. My market supports my finish carpentry and door hanging specialities much better, but transforming slabs straight from the boule into something useful and beautiful once in a while is good for the Soul...
Im just now myself learning about the Rubio system and cant wait to try it. Thanks for all the helpful application and other useful tips. One Question is the small table top I am going to be working on has a large crack that I plan on doing a Resin pour on. Should I do that first before I apply the Rubio to the rest of the table?
Thanks tons Bent, I just made a 40”x16” round coffee table outta 8/4 Ash and am getting ready to apply the Rubio Monocoat Oil+2C cotton WHite and this really does help as I usually use oil finishes but have never used the Rubio, Thanks, this helps a lot
This is the best 15 or so minutes I've spent on YT in a while! Thanks for the well organized and clearly presented information. You've already answered so many of my questions! I am planning to use RM to seal my walnut island top, which is not yet installed. Quick question- if I apply to the bottom of my island first, do I need to wait any length of time before I can flip it over and apply to the top and sides? Thanks in advance :)
Nope! I would do the bottom, wipe it down, then flip it and do the top. Only thing I would do is put it on some painters triangles for about 24 hours so the underside dries. 👍
Thanks for spreading the information. What if you need to cover two sides of the detail? How long do you wait for the 1st side to dry before flipping the detail?
Hey Bent cool video! Can I also use this finish for a desk or table top? Im really starting to get tired of using armrseal. It just takes too long. Thx!
I've used your methods on a few projects and it worked great! On my latest project I tried your sand to 150 then water pop method and it did not work out as well as just sanding to 120, water popping and hitting it again lightly with 120. When I water popped my walnut boards, it did not raise the grain evenly, especially near knots and I can feel this on the final product. I'm sure this is one of those "only I will ever tell things" but I can feel the texture inconsistencies when rubbing my hands over the top. I have not seen this when sanding to 120 though.
Jason, thanks for this review. If you're ever up to making another video on hard wax oil, I'd love to see your thoughts on Fiddes Hard Wax oil. It's about half the price of Rubio and seems to be a promising alternative to Rubio.
Question: the oil/wax liquid. Do you shake well before use? I cant read my can even with a magnifying glass. Getting old is tough on my eyes. Appreciated.
Great video, thank you! 1. What sanding grit should I use for a desk table top made from baltic birch plywood? It's already sanded at the factory but I don't know to what grit they sanded it. 2. I understand that water popping a 150-grit-sanded-wood opens the pores to have a better molecular bond and hence make the surface more durable, but could you please explain what happens to the smoothness of the wood after water popping? Will you get as smooth a result after applying the Rubio as without water popping? In other words, are durability and smoothness opposite tradeoffs, or is the surface both durable and smooth?
Great video! I was searching for someone who applied a second coat on wood that absorbs more of the oil (in my case redwood). Thanks for covering that aspect, I'll try it out!
Your RM video was helpful. My question is this: I have hard maple kitchen counter tops; what I need is a finish resistant to water and a gloss top coat. If RM isn’t best what is?
Hi, I've some live edge counters that I want to treat. Am I correct in saying there was no buffing machine needed,, just towel and elbow grease to finish off?
I have had good results. Don’t really have anything in direct sunlight. I have had normal glass with no long term effects, never placed anything hot directly on it.
Great informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just have a simple question. Is it necessary to use a polish buffer for this application?
When applying the second coat, could I use 120 grit sandpape(lightly pressed) instead of the maroon pad. My local hardware stores do not supply the circular pad that you use.
Hi, thanks for the video, Where do yo buy those rectangular pads. I have a round version that sticks to the end of a drill chuck. But not sure I like that method. I also use a festool felt pad that attaches to my orbital sander but sometimes the hairs from the felt get stuck in the wood. Super annoying!
I am doing an Oak table and the grain does not seem to be filling in. I am concern that if something spills it will seep into the grain. what should I do? I also have the rubio maintenance that I will be putting on it after it dries for 36 hours.
Great help! Getting ready to do a live edge slab and wonder about oractical approach to getting both sides coated? Top first then bottom? Dry time in between? Etc? Thx
hi, been trying to get an answer for this question but I can't find it anywhere. I know rubio monocoat says 5 days cure time with accelerator, 3-4 weeks without. regardless of accelerator has been used, how do I know (by touch / smell / colour etc.) that it has been fully cured?
Hi Ben, thank you for sharing your tips on using Rubio Monocoat oil Plus. Will this method give a similar finish to White Oak Veneer surfaces? Have you tried their 'Smoke - Rubio Monocoat' ? If so, could you upload a video demonstration of Smoke on white oak please? Thank you.
Hi, where do you even get pieces of walnut boards like that from? Do they typically have to come from a sawmill? No place by me has those only have 2in thick live edge pieces. Thanks in advance!
I'm finishing up sanding down my solid wood ceilings and beams of my home and want to use Rubio Monocoat raw wood cleaner and Oil Plus Pure, any suggestions, btw I'm in San Diego
I used the "Clear" finish on pine and it seems to yellow the wood pretty significantly. Is that to be expected since pine is going to amber over time regardless?
Thanks for such nice detailed instruction, very useful for first users like myself. A question remained: the cans say you should stir before use. You stir after mixing the 2 components, but I don't see you stir the original can content. Would you recommend to stir each component first, before using the syringe to extract?
Hi there! Great video, do you know what the name of the white applicator pad is called? Can I buy at home depot? I already have the 2C rubio mono, but just need the white pad (don't want to use plastic spreader). Thanks!

After adding the second coat can you increase the shine more by putting the maintenance oil over the second coat of Rubio ?
I’ve heard that but haven’t tried it
