Samples disappointing
I ordered 2 samples smoke 5% and natural and they barely provided any tint to my countertop. The colors shown don’t have an indication of what wood they may be applied to in order to produce the desired color. Unfortunately, I spent $13/sample and neither were near the sample swatch shown.

I've used it two times now
I've used it two times now. I can't believe how smooth and nice the wood feels after applying the oil. I make urns and the sprayed urns sanded to 320, sprayed and sanded with 400 and 600 don't feel as smooth and silky.
I'd like to see them offer a way of mixing small batches. A syringe marked for the 3-1 ratio, I'm currently mixing by guesses into single serve peach cups for the days use. A better idea would be to apply the oil then rub on the accelerator, buff and wait.

Excellent product
Excellent product! Worked perfectly for my application. The fact that there is no penalty for overlap during application make it perfect for larger work pieces that may pose a challenge to get finish on in a timely manner.
Price is a little high but other than that I am completely sold on this product.

Great customer service for a Noob.
While venturing into this new type of protection for wood, I had many questions I could not get answered through normal means of googling or watching YouTube. I made the phone call to get information on Rubio monocoat and customer service was very very helpful. He gave me perfectly clear instructions to help me make sense out of using this product. I bought my color samples to try it out and love it. And now on to building to my table. Thanks guys!

I am using Rubio Monocoat to finish furniture
I am using Rubio Monocoat to finish furniture and I am very pleased with the finish I achieved so far. I plan to to strip lacquer off the doors of my maple kitchen cabinets and use Rubio to refinish them.

Rubio Monocoat
Great product. Easy to apply. It is a bit speedy but I'm hoping it is worth it.

Colour samples
Ordered more samples for colour testing. Samples were delivered quickly and enough was provided to perform some testing and make a few small example boards for clients. And the product is great as usual.

This stain saved this Interior Designer
I am an interior designer. This stain saved my life. I had created some very Custom inlays for some tall kitchen pantry doors. The regular stain used did not look good at all. A fellow designer suggested mono coat. We used the Gris Belge. They look amazing. Saved the day!!
