Stain & Finishing Oil is a wood conditioner, stain, and top coat all in one that offers exceptional durability in high-traffic areas like table tops, kitchen cabinets, and even flooring.
It can be used on bare wood or over previously painted surfaces. No additional top coat is required – it is highly durable as is. If you’re looking for added durability, applying a coat of Natural will increase sheen and durability without intensifying your colour.
If you apply it over Fusion Mineral Paint™ for a glaze effect or to increase the sheen, we recommend removing excess immediately, as the SFO will not soak in and may leave a sticky finish that takes a few days to dry.
Use the Natural colour over Fusion Mineral Paint™ colours to increase the sheen and offer superior durability, or brush on one of the pigmented colours and wipe off immediately for a beautiful, easy glaze effect.
Our special blend is highly concentrated in pigment, so a little goes a long way. The 237 mL container will cover the same area as 1 litre of comparable stains.
Please keep in mind that all oil-based products typically yellow in time. Using this over top of white paints will cause a slight yellowing effect. We recommend our Tough Coat for going over lighter colours to avoid yellowing.

Top CoatNo additional top coat is required.- this is made strong enough for floors and table tops. However you may use wax or “Natural” colour Stain & Finishing Oil to increase the sheen but not deepen the colour.

Maintenance/ Cleaning: Light cleaners, as they will strip away the natural oil.
How To Use on Bare Wood: pour or brush onto an evenly sanded surface; remove excess after 15-20 minutes. If desired, add a second coat after re-coat time for deeper colour or more sheen. The pigment in it stains your wood, accentuating the grain. SFO combines natural oils and resins that penetrate into wood fibres to create a durable, scratch-resistant, waterproof finish. It does not leave a surface film that sits on top but instead soaks into and becomes a part of your wood.
If applying over Fusion Mineral Paint, remove excess immediately.
