FAQs about Rubio Monocoat Invisible Protector

 

Does Rubio Monocoat Invisible Protector actually works?

Short answer, Yes!

An invisible timber finish that actually works is not easy to find. We were skeptical at first and though it will only protect for a few months. We now have benchmarked the product for over 2 years and the finish is still holding up and protects even against red wine. There are a few things you can stuff up in the application process so we recommend that you employ an experienced timber finish specialist. Alternatively that you practice a lot before you apply it on your dining table.

What does it protect against?

The enemies to timber finishes are typically, red wine, olive oil, cold and hot drinks. Invisible protector gives you enough time to wipe up red wine and olive oil but don’t leave it for hours. Cold and hot drinks can leave a round ring on any timber finish but we find that almost all of the time the rings disappears with invisible protector. However, we recon coasters should always be used when putting cold or hot items on timber.

When will you put the final layer on, it still looks raw?

This is a reaction we occasionally receive, the finish actually IS invisible and if you are used to old fashioned timber finishes you might think the table looks raw and unfinished.

Does it work for all timber tables??

It certainly does, even on timber floors. However, if you sand back your old rustic table, you might find that under the old stain there are different colored timber boards. Sometimes the furniture maker even off-loaded odd looking boards. That was then covered up in a dark stain colour. When you sand the table back to raw this will be revealed and invisible protector will not minimize the differences at all.

How to apply Rubio Monocoat Invisible Protector

  •  Sand the Table to 120 grit with no swirl marks. Thoroughly remove sanding dust with a vacuum, then apply Invisible Protector immediately to avoid any oxidation.
