Oil Plus 2C is a hardwax oil wood protector that colors and protects in
only 1 single layer! Using advanced molecular bonding, it protects wood from water, heat and daily wear
& tear. It is the best oil for wood furniture, hardwood flooring, tables, and just about anything
made out of wood!
- Available in 55 standard colors.
- Enhances the natural look and feel of the wood.
- 0% VOC, does not contain any water or solvents.
- Easy to maintain.
- It’s a natural wood finish because the oil is made of linseed.
- No overlaps or starting marks.
- Minimal use/High coverage: 300 - 500 ft²/L.
- Can be applied to almost all wood types.
- Certified.
- Great wear-, water- and heat resistance.
- Very fast curing: 80% in 2 days.
- A short ‘dry’ maintenance period: after 5 days, the surface can be cleaned with water and Rubio Monocoat Soap.

Application
Furniture, stairs & countertops
1. Sand the surface properly. Finish sanding with 100-150 grit.
Note: The color intensity depends on sanding, wood species, water popping, etc...
Note: When refinishing, sand all residue from previously applied non-Rubio Monocoat finish treatments
(e.g., polyurethane, oil, wax, etc.) down to bare wood.
2. Vacuum thoroughly, remove residual sanding dust using Raw Wood Cleaner and wait until the surface
is completely dry before applying Oil Plus 2C. Refer to the Raw Wood Cleaner TDS before.
3. Stir the A component until a homogenous mixture is obtained. Carefully mix the two components (1
to 2 minutes) with a ratio of about 3 units A to 1 unit B.
4. Spread out a small quantity of Oil Plus 2C using the Applicator Set, and work the oil into the
wood surface. Work in manageable zones.
*Alternative spatula method: Evenly spread Oil Plus 2C with a plastic spreader or a small squeegee.
Then, use a Rubio Monocoat applicator pad to work the oil into the surface. Work in manageable
zones.
NOTE: Apply Oil Plus 2C to ceilings, walls, and vertical surfaces using a brush and spread with the
Rubio Monocoat Applicator Pad(s).
5. Allow the applied oil to react with the wood for at least 5 minutes, during that time periodically
work the oiled surface with the applicator pad to redistribute the applied oil and work it into the
wood surface. Start wiping excess oil away around 15 minutes from applying it using a clean terry
cloth. Make sure all excess oil has been removed within 30 minutes! The surface should feel dry to
the touch upon completion.
NOTE: To ensure that wood species with high absorbency (e.g., walnut, cherry, pine, cedar, or
redwood) are well-oiled, it's important to work the oil into the wood thoroughly and allow
additional time to fully penetrate before wiping off excess oil.
Floors
1. Sand the surface following National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) guidelines. Finish sanding
with 100-120 grit mesh screen. When finished sanding, the wood surface should NOT exhibit a
shiny/polished surface.
NOTE: The color intensity depends on sanding, wood species, water popping, etc...
NOTE: When refinishing, sand any residue from previously applied non-Rubio Monocoat finish treatments
(e.g., polyurethane, oil, wax, etc) down to bare wood.
2. Vacuum thoroughly, remove residual sanding dust using Raw Wood Cleaner, and wait until the surface
is completely dry before applying Oil Plus 2C. Refer to the Raw Wood Cleaner TDS before use.
3. Stir the A Component thoroughly until a consistent color mixture is obtained. Then, carefully mix
the two components together (1 - 2 minutes) at a ratio of about 3 units A to 1 unit B.
4. Work in zones of 50-100 SF (5-10 m²). Start each zone by manually applying the oil around the
perimeter using a Rubio Monocoat Red Applicator Pad. Liberally apply patches of Oil Plus 2C every
other 20 inches to the field of the floor using a brush. Work the oil in using a buffer outfitted
with a red buffer pad following the installation length of the boards. Allow the applied oil to
react with the wood for at least 5 minutes. During the reaction time, continue to work the oiled
surface with the red applicator pad with the buffer to further redistribute the applied oil and work
it into the wood surface.
*Alternative trowel method: Spread the Oil Plus 2C mixture out with a stainless trowel in zones which
can be completed in 30 minutes. Work the applied oil in with a buffer outfitted with a red buffer
pad
5. Start buffing excess oil away around 15 minutes after applying it using a clean white buffer pad.
Use a cloth around the perimeter of the room and where the buffer can not reach to remove excess
oil. Make sure all excess oil has been removed with the white pad within 30 minutes from the start
of oiling each section! Change the white pads as needed. The surface of the oiled area should feel
dry to the touch when this step is completed.
NOTE: Continue the instructions outlined in steps 4 and 5 to oil the remaining zones of the floor.
6. Once all zones in one room have been oiled, immediately buff the oiled area again with a clean
white pad under the buffer to ensure an evenly oiled and wiped surface. The surface should now be
dry to the touch.
NOTE: In very large spaces divide these final buff zones up in smaller sections of approximately
300-400 SF.
Cleaning
Clean the surface using Rubio Monocoat Soap or Surface Care Spray. Do not use common over-the-counter
cleaners, as they can damage the surface.
Maintenance
Periodic maintenance of Oil Plus 2C should be performed using Rubio Monocoat Renew. Refer to the Renew
TDS before use.
Repair and renovation
If the Oil Plus 2C treated surface shows excessive wear and tear, or needs a color repair, maintain
with Oil Plus 2C in the original color.
Use Universal Soap or Surface Care Spray to clean the wooden surface until it is free of dirt. For
stubborn stains, repeat the cleaning process (you may use a white non-abrasive pad to help remove
stubborn dirt). Use Tannin Remover for dark discolored spots in the wood. Refer to the Tannin
Remover TDS before use.
To remove dissolved dirt, use a damp cloth or mop with clean water. After cleaning, let the surface
dry completely. This usually takes around 30 minutes in a room with a temperature of 68°F (20°C) and
good ventilation.
NOTE: If the wood surface is severely damaged or neglected, abrade the surface lightly with a maroon
pad or use the same abrasive grit as you initially finished your wooden surface with. Please consult
a professional if necessary.
Furniture- Refer to STEP 3 of the corresponding furniture, stairs, and countertops
section for oil application instructions. Follow through to STEP 5. Flooring- Refer
to STEP 3 of the corresponding flooring section for oil application instructions. Follow through to
STEP 6.
Very high temperatures may shorten the working time and dry time, work in smaller zones if needed.
Low temperatures increase the amount of time needed for a molecular bond between the oil and the wood
to occur. Allow more time for the oil to react with the wood before removing excess oil. Low
temperatures also lengthen the dry and cure time. Avoid applying the oil in cold temperatures.
