Hi, Weve recently had a solid oak worktop installed within the kitchen and we are about to oil it for the first time but ive been reading everywhere that the installer should have oiled atleast 3 coats on the underside prior to installation. Is this a problem? All of the appliances are now fixed in place, drawer units in place, sink in place etc it would be an absolute nightmare to remove the worktops now to oil underneath. Is oiling underneath completely necessary? Thanks, Adam
I wouldn't risk not doing it , having one side oiled and one not could cause it to take in moisture unevenly and start to bow , regardless of how much of a pain it is to do now , you shouldn't be dealing with it personally , the fitter should of done it , get him back , he'll have to take it off or get everything out the way to do it properly but that's his problem for neglecting to do it in the first place. has he actually said he's "forgotten " to oil it ?
