FAQs
Can I apply Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C over an existing finish?
No, Oil Plus 2C must be applied directly to bare, clean wood. It works by bonding with the wood fibers. Existing finishes must be completely removed.
How much area does 130ml of Oil Plus 2C cover?
130ml typically covers approximately 1.3-2 square meters, depending on the wood type and porosity. Coverage is about 10-15 m² per liter.
What is the shelf life of Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C?
Unmixed, the Oil (A-part) and Accelerator (B-part) have a shelf life of approximately 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place in their original, sealed containers. Once mixed, the product has a pot life of about 4-6 hours.
Can I use Oil Plus 2C on exterior wood?
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is designed for interior use only. For exterior applications, Rubio Monocoat offers specific exterior wood treatments.
How long does it take for the finish to be fully cured?
The finish is walkable within 24 hours and can be subjected to light use. Full mechanical and chemical resistance is typically achieved after 5-7 days.
How do I clean the mixed oil and accelerator if I have leftovers?
Leftover mixed product cannot be stored. It must be disposed of according to local regulations. It is best to mix only the amount needed for your project.
What is the difference between Oil Plus 2C and 'Pure'?
Oil Plus 2C is the standard product that colors and protects in one layer. 'Pure' is a version of Oil Plus 2C that provides protection without adding color, essentially enhancing the wood's natural appearance while offering durability.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or streaks after application
This is often due to inconsistent application or insufficient buffing off of excess product. Ensure a thin, even coat was applied and that all excess oil was thoroughly buffed away with a clean cloth. For severe cases, light sanding may be required before re-application.
Wood feels sticky or tacky after drying
Likely caused by an insufficient removal of excess product. Ensure the entire surface was buffed vigorously with a clean microfiber cloth immediately after application. Allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area.
Product does not cure properly or remains soft
Verify that the Oil (A-part) and Accelerator (B-part) were mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly combined. Ensure the product was applied within its pot life after mixing.
Water or stains penetrate the wood
The wood may not have been fully protected. Ensure a complete and even application of Oil Plus 2C across the entire surface, paying attention to edges and corners. Allow sufficient curing time (typically 24-48 hours before light use, longer for full hardness).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
- If coloring, choose your desired color from the 40 available options. Always test on a sample piece of wood first, as color can vary by species.
- Mix the Oil (A-part) and the Accelerator (B-part) thoroughly in the recommended ratio (typically 3:1 for Oil Plus 2C). Only mix what you intend to use, as the mixture has a limited pot life.
Application:
- Apply a thin, even layer of the mixed product to the wood surface using a Rubio Monocoat application pad or lint-free cloth.
- Work in small sections and ensure consistent coverage, avoiding over-application.
- Immediately after application, buff off any excess product with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. This step is crucial to prevent a sticky or uneven finish.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all solid wood types and veneers.
- Not recommended for use on MDF or particle board without proper sealing or primer, as these materials can absorb the oil unevenly.
Care:
- Clean spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- For cleaning, use Rubio Monocoat Soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
- For maintenance, a re-application of a thin layer of Oil Plus 2C can be done when needed, following the same application steps.
