Questions & Answers

Is this a good product to waterproof a wooden gazebo?
ByJun 27, 2026

Answer This Question

We appreciate your interest, Jason! Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil is suitable for use on interior surfaces only and will not offer lasting results if used on exterior surfaces. This product will also not waterproof surfaces, and we do not offer a waterproofing finish for wood at this time. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

    Can this be used on butcher block kitchen countertops?

    Answer This Question

    We appreciate your interest, Daysna! While Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil can be used on interior surfaces, it is not suitable for use on countertops. It will not withstand the typical use of countertops and wear down much faster. This is also not a food-grade finish and is not suitable for surfaces that will have direct contact with food. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

      If I want to retain the natural look of the black walnut wood I am working with, would this do the job?

      Answer This Question

      Great question, Barb! Yes, Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil in Natural will help retain the natural look of the surface the best. A test application is still recommended to ensure a favorable appearance. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        Thank you for your interest! Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil is intended for use on bare interior wood only. If there is an existing finish it will need to be removed with sandpaper or stripper.

          Can you use on top of previously stained wood?

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Happy to help, Melisa! Since Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil is a penetrating product, it works best when applied to bare sanded wood. Since the wood is already stained, this can prevent the Danish Oil from properly penetrating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

            Can it be used on exterior surfaces

            Answer This Question

            Bill, happy to clarify! Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil is intended for use on bare interior wood surfaces only. You may consider using Rust-Oleum Watco Exterior Wood Finish; this is suitable on exterior bare wooden surfaces. It will provide a long-lasting finish that protects against UV and moisture. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Watco-1-gal-Clear-Oil-Exterior-Wood-Finish-2-Pack-67732/204803633 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

                  I love watco stains. They are easy to use and enhance/ protect the wood.

                  Used on reclaimed barn wood. Darkened the wood but really brings it the grain. I used the natural.

                  I absolutely love the Watco Danish Oil, it really makes the grains of the wood pop and brigs out their colors. This Natural color doesn’t cover up the grains, it really makes them stand out. I’ve been making a lot of small center piece type project (100’s) for an up coming crafts fair and this is the only coating I’ve been using. Absolutely love it. If I had to name something i don’t like, it would be the plastic child protective cap over the steel cap. I Gould it hard to open the cap with this on so I took if off, really no big deal. 5-stars for this wood oil.

                  Applied to wood shelving that came without any finish-brought out the grain of the woood and was easy to apply and quick drying-slight odor that off-gases in ventilation

                  Easy application
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The oil was easy to apply, and it soaked into the wood nicely, providing a nice-looking finish. Natural shade has was a good match. Has noticeable smell. Not food grade.

                    So many uses!!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best natural oil for raw wood products. I’ve used it on side tables and drawers, I have a set of outdoor teak chairs I can’t wait to use this stuff on! A little goes a long way, leaving no oily residue. It really does soak into the wood, leaving the surface area protected and natural looking. As always, read manufacturer’s instructions fully before using this product. This really is something everyone needs on hand. Great for cabinets or wood countertops, even wood grain doors, floors or windows. This stuff is beautiful!

                      Adds a touch of warmth, perfect for DIY projects!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE this stain! The color I used was “Natural” and it was a beautiful natural wood color with just a touch of warmth. I did one coat on a towel rack I DIY’ed, the second photo shows one coat dried next to a clean unstained wood piece. The odor was not very strong but I’d still recommend using it outside or in a very well ventilated area.
