Title: Cabinet Finishes
Post by: p2pAmps on January 10, 2022, 04:06:16 am

Hey Builders,

For those of you who build a cabinet or two I wanted to share a (new to me) oil finish.  It's called Rubio Monocoat.  Pretty great stuff, not cheap, but really really good.  There are some good YouTubes out there of how to use this stuff but it is pretty easy.  Any way here's a few pics of a couple of cabs I just did with this stuff.

Cheers!

That looks great!  Did you stain the flamed maple or use analine dye on it? 

Which Monocoat product was it?  Was it the 2 part product/oil?

Thanks for sharing.    With respect, Tubenit

Hey buddy,  No stain that was all the 2 part monocoat (color was cherry).  I did the use the maintenance oil 24 hours after the color oil as recommended.
