What should I do if the Danish Oil drips or runs?
Wipe off the drips or runs immediately with a clean cloth and ensure you're applying a thin, even coat. Sand lightly after the oil has dried, if needed.
Troubleshooting
Oil not drying properly.
Ensure adequate ventilation and wipe off any excess oil. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times.
Uneven finish after application.
Ensure an even coat of oil is applied and the excess is completely wiped off. Sand lightly between coats to address any imperfections.
