Questions & Answers
Purchased a hevea butcher block top. We want a wood tone but not as dark as the image on the can. Is that possible?
Elaine, great question! A normal dwell time with Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil and Stain is 15-20 minutes before wiping the excess off the surface. We can recommend doing a few different test samples on scrape pieces with various dwell times until the desired color is achieved. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can this product be used for outdoor table?
Maria, happy to clear things up! Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil and Finish is suitable for use on bare interior wooden cutting boards, salad bowls, and other items that require a food-safe finish. If you like to share further about your project with us, we can see if there is another product we can recommend. Give our team a call at 800-373-6333. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can it be used over top of polyurethane
Happy to clear things up! Since Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil is a penetrating oil, it must be applied to a bare wood surface. If applied over a finished surface, the oil will remain tacky on the surface and not properly dry. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Can I use this product product on butcher block that I will use as a desk. Will the stain in Carbon Gray rub against clothing even after the cure period say after 72 hours.
Happy to help! Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil and Stain can be applied to a butcher block surface intended to be used for a desk. Once fully cured, it will not transfer to clothing. It is important to allow at least 72 hours for a full cure before regular use. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can I use on butcher block counter top
Happy to clear things up! Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil is not recommended for use on countertops. This is a maintenance product, and heavily used surfaces, such as countertops, would require more frequent maintenance coats. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Will it turn wood darker
Happy to clear things up. While Rust-Oleum Watco Clear Butcher Block Oil and Finish will not alter the color of the wood, it will give it a darker/deeper finish. We recommend applying a small test application to ensure the results are as you desire. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
Is it safe for countertops
Happy to help. While Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil and Finish provides a food safe finish, it is not recommended for countertops or larger surfaces. It is instead intended for smaller surfaces like salad bowls, cutting boards, or wooden utensils. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
The instructions indicate that after initially finishing a butcherblock countertop towait 72 hrs before normal use of the counter. However, 9 to 12 months later, when one puts on a maintenance coat, does one have to wait 72 hours?
Happy to clear things up, Bonnie! Yes, you will need to wait 72 hours again for normal use after reapplying Rust-Oleum Watco Butcher Block Oil. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
