Hi, would you recommend Langlow Patina for restoring tired solid wood kitchen work surfaces? Last time we sanded them right down then used several coats of ronseal antibacterial worktop oil but it looked tired again in very little time. Applying the gel by hand would be a mammoth job.
I would tend to look for an Osmo floor product.

I want to revitalize a rough old wooden floor that has previously been stained black about 15 years ago. Ian Mathews February 16th, 2015 at 14:35. Make sure the Patina is applied in very thin layers, and as it is for indoor use, you should have a reasonable ambient temperature, keep the work out of draughts.

Could have reacted with some impregnated wood treatment? but genuinely, it is an otherwise fit and forget easy-to-use product that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone restoring table tops.ġ9 comments to “Langlow Patina – does what it says on tin” Only once has it not performed impeccably, and to this day neither I, nor the tech support team have any idea why it lost its sheen. Put it this way, I have never carried more than one in stock and never run out doing table tops. I did a jet black Patina finish on a mahogany dining table, pre digital camera days – it looked fantastic even though I say so myself. Patina helps to protect against water rings, heat marks, alcohol: used by antique restorers and collectors: replaces shellac, varnish sealers and wax.įurthermore, you can tint Patina with oil stainer or even oil paints. Produces an instant, professional, antique finish in minutes. Patina brings out the natural warmth and colour that is already lying dormant in the grain of the wood, and gives lasting protection. Can be applied in minutes with just a cloth.
The protection of polyurethane and the beauty of wax- without the problem of either. The sales blurb from Langlow Patina suppliers, Mackay, really does match up to the reality. 2 thin coats applied by lint-free rag (put on in circles finished off along the grain) 4 hours between coats and you have completely protected bare timber from wear and tear, hot cups and general usage. It even got applied to wooden finishing pieces on this fantastic Little Greene painted AVL loom! More durable by far than Danish Oil on kitchen worktops, it is such a good wood sealer. It has the looks of all the antiquing type polishes, but is really tough and zero to low maintenance.
I have used Langlow Patina on bare timber for years – table tops, desktops or handrails.Īs they say, don’t oil it, wax it or polish it, patina it. Listed under Blog, products Posted Jun 27 2011 Langlow Patina – does what it says on tin
