DukeNukem Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 What do you folks seal your trivets with? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put a deft clear coat on them. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye10 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have read that a lot of people use BLO. That is half and half boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Also there is Watco Danish Oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrollerpete Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I made lots of trivets and I used Tung oil, 2 to 3 coats and sanding in between coats using 600 grit, so far everybody is happy and no complains. If it wear out just sand it again and reapply Tung oil to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Jerry, any oil type of finish would work. In the past, I've used BLO, Danish oil, Mineral oil, and a couple of them had Walnut oil on them. You want to use an oil that soaks in, and one that seems dry to the touch. You want them dry to the touch, so that they don't affect any table cloths or the finish of what they will be set on. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
