You can use a brush, roller, cloth, or sprayer to apply wood oil, or you can buff it on.
Here's a more detailed look at each method:
-
Brush: A high-quality brush allows for precise application, especially in intricate areas. Apply the oil thinly and evenly, following the wood grain.
-
Roller: Rollers are best suited for large, flat surfaces. Ensure even coverage and avoid pooling.
-
Cloth: A clean, lint-free cloth is excellent for applying thin coats and working the oil into the wood. This method provides excellent control and is good for achieving a natural finish. Wipe away any excess.
-
Sprayer: Using a sprayer ensures an even coat, especially on complex shapes or hard-to-reach areas. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your sprayer and wood oil.
-
Buffing: Applying the oil and then buffing it into the wood is a good way to achieve a smooth, even finish. This is often done with a soft cloth or buffing pad.
