I've just fitted unfinished oak doors downstairs and the leaflet says wax or oil shouldn't be used to seal the door. Howdens say wax or oil will not seal the door properly. They suggest varnish, stain or laquer. I want to use Danish Oil and wanted to see what others think about Danish Oil being used on these doors.
This has come up on here before , the general concensus is that it's not really an issue to do so . Of course I would never recommend others to go against manufacturers instructions But if they were my doors I'd oil them , and indeed I have done that to my own.
All I can say is I was on a job which had loads of these doors fitted and the decorator used a polyurethane clear varnish on them. I asked him because the finish / slight colour change it made to them was the type I like best.
