How many coats of oil should you put on a new solid wood worktop?

Nov 02, 2004 2 Replies

We've just installed one in our new kitchen. We put 2 coats on before the appliances and sink were fitted. It's a Junckers worktop and we used Junckers oil. The kitchen fitter thought 2 coats was sufficient. I don't want to add any more coats if not neccessary as I want to keep the colour as light as possible. Any ideas? How frequently should we re-oil the worktop?


Once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, once a year for life
