Question 1

Want to use on new oak table.nothing used yet.want to keep original colour.says on web site to use raw and then original over top is this needed

Accepted Answer

I have used this on natural oak mantel shelf. Applied it with micro fibre roller. 2 coats. See no change in the wood colour or texture. I have yet to know whether it has worked as being stain resistant as we are still very careful with what we place on the shelf. Very pleased with the appearance though.

Question 2

Can this be used to protect furniture that's been painted with emulsion ? I don't want to use regular varnish as that darkens paint tone

Accepted Answer

Hi 
Would suspect that not such a good Idea to put over Emulsion paint.
Personally I would strip off the paint back to bare wood and then apply the varnish application varies so after each coat lightly rub over with low grade sand paper and keep doing until the right shade is achieved.
If that sounds like a problem then strip off emulsion put on a varnish stain and then apply the Polyx Oil.

I put this stuff on with a brush and wiped excess away with rag and still got a white sheen. Not happy.

Rest Express - Wood Finishing Products:  There is a possibility that the solvents in this product may cause delamination issues.  You can buy this as a 5ml sample sachet, so if you have a surplus piece of wood or a discrete areas you could do a test patch first.  3044 Raw has a touch of white pigment to counter the natural darkening effect of a solvent based product and is intended for use on light coloured woods to keep them looking as close as possible to the original appearance.  regarding the problems on Oak, if the moisture content of the wood hasn't dropped below about 20% then that moisture will repel the oil and prevent it from absorbing properly, which may account for the problem described.
