Easy perfect finish

Posted by William Michael Kolesar on 4th Mar 2019

I really like the finish results. I have used the product on 2 projects so far. A maple live edge dining table and a river coffee table. Love the texture of the finish smooth with the feel of wood, not a coated feeling. Use very small amount of the product to get coverage. Not able to comment on durability yet.
white pine skip planned floors

Posted by Robert on 21st Jan 2019

I just finished ~1000 SQFT of monocoat plus 2c on rough pine flooring milled in VT. We prepped the floors as prescribed with a vacuum and then Rubio cleaner. Then went about rolling and rubbing the oil into the wood...and then buffed out. It was pretty hard work, I’d say about 20 hours total. But it looks super cool and hopefully will be a legit long term solution. We have some pictures if interested. Oh, we used about 3.5 ltrs.
the best, period.

Monocoat products have changed our business. Over decades designing and building furniture, I've used dozens of finishing products and nothing compares to Monocoat. Application is simple and foolproof, requiring little training. And the results are outstanding. I could not be happier.
Spread the word

Posted by Kimble Hayes Design Build on 24th Nov 2018

We started using this product about a year ago when we were looking for alternative matte finishes for an architectural millwork project we were asked to bid on. We provided several finish samples before the restaurant client settled on #21 Natural. The client couldn't be happier with our work and we were pumped to find this product with NO VOCs!! Easy to use, smells wonderful and the finish is outstanding. We are spreading the word, one project at a time.
Best stuff ever

Used the Chocolate color on my farmhouse table. Turned out beautiful! Very easy to use and got incredible results. So pleased with this product.
Rubio Monocoat Natural Oil

Posted by Colleen on 5th Oct 2018

Great product! Beautiful, deep finish and pleasant scent. This is an amazing stain and I feel content knowing that it is not polluting my home. Instead of purchasing a closet system, my husband and I chose to make our own customized to our needs. The end results achieved using Monocoat Oil plus 2C have made us eager to take on another project. The Charcoal gave our project an unique, custom look. Customer service has also been very helpful in answering all my questions. Love this company and its products!
Great option for finishing desktop

Posted by Jana Sansbury on 3rd Oct 2018

Just needed to finish a desktop that I had stripped and bleached. Wanted a natural looking finish that would withstand typical desktop use. I chose the oil plus 2c in 5 percent smoke. Had way too much (used the smallest quantity they offered) but the finish is really nice. Only wish there was more "smoke" in the final product. Maybe my wood didn't have enough tannin in it. Pretty nonetheless.
#1 best product to refinish hard wood floors hands down !!!

Posted by Unknown on 24th Sep 2018

I have refinished floors the old fashion way varnish. Will never use that ever again. Monocoat is the best way to refinish floors hands down. We built a 4000 sq foot log home and we finished all the floors ourself. We installed unfinished ingrown bark hickory flooring and used clear/pure oil and everyone is in love with our floors. I tell everyone I know about Monocoat. :):)

the best stuff i found yet ! easy to work in a beautiful finish. and as far as repair, i can't even see the spot that i repaired two days after monocrat was applied. NO cutting corners on sanding, use a guide coat. my repair was in the sanding.top notch product.
10 Stars!!!

Was going to refinish my floors with the usual poly finish... until I stumbled upon this product.... best decision ever! So happy with the finish - so natural and love not having that plastic coating over the floor. My husband had a hard time adjusting to the matte finish but he loves it now! I used the charcoal on red oak and it is stunning! Going to refinish my dining table and coffe table with monocoat also. The product is so easy to use.
Couldn't be HAPPIER with Oil Plus 2C!

Posted by Heather B. on 7th Apr 2018

I used the Oil Plus 2C to finish and seal the new butcher block counter tops in my kitchen. I looked at SO MANY products, reviews and suggestion...I could not be happier that I chose to go with this product that is environmentally friendly, easy to apply and clean up and that ENHANCES the beauty of the wood you are working with! I followed application instructions for prep (sanding & rubio wood cleaner) and then applied using a paint sponge and wiped off excess oil after about 5-10 minutes. I let the 3 sections of counter top cure for 7 days, but was worried that I had not applied enough Oil Plus 2C...so I emailed customer service and they suggested applying another coat - which I did after the counter tops were cut and put in place. The finish is AMAZING! The color sample for the cinnamon brown is spot on. I LOVE my new counter tops!
truly beautiful

Posted by amy yurko on 27th Mar 2018

Honestly, I used it because of the color, indigo blue is exactly what I wanted and no other product could even come close. Mine is a renovation project, but with brand new white oak floors - white oak because the red oak shifted the blue oil to be a bit purple in the samples we made. Also, we did a water wash prep on the floor to raise/open the grain a bit so the finish is darker than the dry prep. The dry prep also pulled the yellow about of the wood and made the oil color shift to be a bit green. So be sure to do a few samples before committing to the entire floor if you’re as particular as I am (an architect doing my own place!). Next, be prepared for a VERY matte finish. It is truly beautiful, but shows a lot of dust/footprints, etc. The Monocoat cleaning products are great. Also, be prepared for the color to transfer to your socks for a while - this goes away after several moppings. (FYI, I had my floor completed and then protected while finishing the remainder of the interiors, about 4 months, so it’s not a function of curing time... All in all, I am sold and would recommend this product to anyone!! Just be sure you know the small hassles so you’re prepared to love it!
a beautiful and practical alternative to film finishes

Posted by Clark Peaslee on 21st Mar 2018

As a custom furniture and cabinetmaker, I've always preferred the depth and beauty of natural oil finishes but until recently had not found a product that protected wood as reliably as, say, catalyzed lacquer or varnish. Monocoat 2C has changed all that. Now there's a viable, non-toxic choice to protect wooden products while enhancing the beauty of wood grains and colors.
Furniture finish go-to

Posted by Ryan Scurfield on 15th Mar 2018

I Absolutely LOVE rubio monocoat oil + 2c!! I have all but completely switched to using it on my custom furniture pieces. The ease of application, fast handling and cure time, matte finish, and nature beauty it brings out make it second to none in my book for most projects.

Monocoat.us has exceptional customer service to boot!! And I mean EXCEPTIONAL.
SO easy and beautiful

Posted by Polly Palmer on 13th Mar 2018

This was such an ease to use. I just followed the instructions as they were listed and watched a few videos on youtube to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I refinished my 75 year old hardwood floors and they look beautiful. Thank you, Monocoat!
best stain around

I’ve used this product for over 5 years and nothing compares.
Exceeded Our Expectations

Posted by Chris Coutu on 10th Dec 2017

So the monocoat has exceeded our expectations and we are looking forward to using it in the rest of the house.

Thanks again for the quick responses and straightforward answers to the questions I have had. It has taken the apprehension out of using a new product.
