Rubio MonocoatWood Stain & Finish Sample - Cotton White | Oil Plus Part A | Quick-Dry, Eco-Friendly Linseed Wood Oil for Indoor Use | Ideal for Sampling Oil Plus 2C & Touch Ups | 20 mL

The product is good but the size of the bottle is very misleading, as it appears in photos to be size of much larger bottles. Fortunately the produce does go far and the description states that it covers only about 5 square feet so is accurate. Easy to use and provides a soft matte durable finish. Recommend.

So easy to use and apply. Product is very forgiving. I got a ready-to-finish solid para wood dining table from Home Depot. Used stain in “hazelnut” which I am so pleased with. One 20ml bottle was JUST enough to do this entire 36 inch table but I did use every last drop. My little table sparks joy every time I look at it.

Nice sample size

I prefer using my own combination of oils and other finishes but every now and then I buy Rubio for the ease of use and fast setup.I prefer the pure which brings out the darker but natural side of the wood I use it on.

We bought a butcher block from a local home improvement store with the purpose of converting it into a desk and some shelves. We created legs and needed to stain them as close to the color of the butcher block and we found this product.It was a little on the spendy side especially since my husband had to purchase additional products to speed up the curing time but the color match was spot on.

The Rubio Monocoat was recommended to me by a millworker, and I’m so glad I tried it. I purchased a walnut butcher block tabletop that was raw and needed some protection, but I didn’t want to add any extra shine or change the natural look of the wood. This product did exactly what I was expecting—it provided a durable, protective finish while maintaining the wood’s natural beauty.It was easy to apply and absorbed well into the surface, leaving a smooth, matte finish. The wood still feels natural to the touch, and the protection is great. Highly recommend this product if you're looking for a way to protect wood without compromising its appearance!

Perhaps one star is unfair since I suppose this product is really great for new raw wood. Maybe without the stain it's also an excellent wax. But I wanted a dark finish and was thrilled that I found a food-safe stain to use (walnut). I followed all the instructions to the letter. I sanded the butcher block to the raw wood; I vacuumed all the dust and then cleaned it with mineral spirits and lint-free cloths and waited 24 hours for it to dry; I bought the Rubio Monocoat applicator pads, and I watched the videos on application. Then I applied it to the butcher block. The only thing I may have done wrong was not use a fine enough grit sandpaper for the last sanding (I used 180).It was a total hot mess. Every tiny blemish (unseen to the eye when sanded) turned black. In effect, the stain did not act like a regular stain. Instead of covering or minimizing flaws, it brought them out by turning them black. It looked purely horrible and was impossible to repair without getting out the sanders again, which I couldn't do at that point. My grievance with Rubio Monocoat was that they do not warn of this issue on the website. If there was such a warning, I wouldn't have used the product as I knew the butcher block I was trying to restore had multiple problems. So $40+ wasted (product + pads) and so much time and effort and all because there was not enough information about the product available.If you use the 2C with color, make sure you test a small section first, and if you don't like it, get it off fast since it bonds within minutes.

Tried it. If you are wanting a stain this is not it. It is more like a paint. Candle see wood through it.
