Base oil for wood
This oil primer from WOCA Denmark is a high-quality wood oil that provides good resistance to scratches, marks and liquids. Apply to sanded, cleaned and dry surfaces.
We recommend this oil for oiling untreated furniture and for restoring the surface of older furniture. The furniture will be dry after a couple of days, but the curing process lasts for a few weeks. That means you should avoid laying textiles on newly oiled surfaces.

Care advice
Maintenance of oiled furniture
Application - untreated furniture
- Clean the surface with Woca Wood Cleaner. Allow to dry for at least 8 hours. The surface must be completely dry.
- Sand the furniture with 240 grit sandpaper and then 400 grit and wipe off the sanding dust. (If the table is very worn and not oiled for a few years, follow the instructions for applying untreated furniture and clean with Wood Cleaner first).
- Stir the container well, both before and during use
- Apply an even layer of oil over the furniture, max 15-20 ml/ m² (with a short-haired paint roller or cotton cloth).
- Let the oil soak for 5-10 minutes. (If the oil is absorbed quickly by the wood, apply more oil)
- Polish the oil into the wood until the wood appears saturated.
- Wipe off excess oil thoroughly with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- Let the oil dry (drying time: about 24 hours at 20°C).
- The oil is fully cured after about 7 days. Avoid exposing the surface to liquids for the first few days.
If the table is very worn and has not been re-oiled for a long time, follow "Application - untreated furniture" instead.
