## Features

- WHAT IT IS - Odie's Dark Oil (ODO) is a remarkable rich dark finishing oil, containing natural reactive and oxidizing oils that darken the wood. Food safe, solvent free and non-toxic, containing no added driers, heavy metals, or part 2 catalyst.
- WHAT IT DOES - ODO is a modified and enhanced Tung Oil based finish. Our Tung Oil has been put through proprietary processes which has then been mixed in a special blend of the finest essential oils and waxes. Odie’s Dark Oil richens and darkens wood, not only when applied but with age, exposure and in reaction with the natural tannins in wood. ODO protects, stabilizes, beautifies, and enhances any wood surface easily, safely, and naturally. ODO penetrates, cross links and bonds molecularly, becoming one with the surface. It does not sit on top as a shell or film like many conventional finish.
- WHAT YOU CAN USE IT ON - Recommended for interior use on any wooden items like doors, floors, tables, countertops, fine furniture, bowls, toys and more! Great for all species of wood, exotic and domestic. Formulated to work on even the oiliest of woods. Great for white oak, walnut, cherry, mahogany, ebony, wenge and more! Odie's Dark Oil is great for wood turners and can be used as a friction polish!
- WHY YOU NEED IT - No worries! Odysseus Cornwall’s finishes are safe for everybody: families, kids, and pets! Odysseus Cornwall’s finishes are easy to use! No sanding or stripping in between coats or for retouching! Wipe on, wait a while, Buff off. Easy! A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! USE SPARINGLY. "No solvents" means there is almost nothing to evaporate, so what you put on the wood, stays in the wood. Odysseus Cornwall’s finishes cover many, many times the area of other wood finishes. Up to 25 times the coverage as conventional finishes.
- TO USE - Stir or mix well as ingredients may settle overtime.
- THE SHEEN & GLOSS of the finish is primarily dictated by the surface preparation. The higher you sand the higher the initial dictation of sheen. There are no sanding restrictions with Odie’s finishes! You can also build upon the sheen, depth & luster with additional applications & by using the various finishes in conjunction to suit your desired effects. MADE IN USA

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So, can this product be used on an existing finish without any sanding or stripping? i just want to polish and darken my oak cabinets.**
A: Depends, what kind of finish does the cabinet have currently? 

Lots of people will use darken wax to give their furniture an antique feel/look. This may be the outcome if you do not strip or sand down the cabinets. 

If the original finish has faded and wasn’t a lacquer, then the wood should soak it up and darken.

Suggestion: test a piece that is hidden other behind something or inside the cabinet.

**Q: How many shades does this oil darken the wood? I have freshly sanded white oak & want a deeper brown. Can 2 coats be applied to obtain this?**
A: In my experience, it won't darken more with the second coat.  The dark seems to darken over time, but you won't see that much difference between this and the regular oil treatment.  It will deepen same as any oil treatment.

**Q: Can I apply this over an older application of original odie's oil?**
A: Yes, but it depends on how long since the last application. All finishes similar to Tung Oil and Linseed Oil, which Odie’s has as an ingredient, will require a re application after some time due to evaporation. The amount of evaporation depends on the climate where the piece of wood is stored; dryer and hotter climates will evaporate faster. 

So, yes you can apply over another coat of Odie’s, just as long as the substrate is willing to soak more of it up.

**Q: could this product be used on wood filler? If so is one brand of filler better than another?**
A: Yes, Odies Dark can be used over wood filler, BUT you need to test because the results may not match the surrounding wood. Only testing will give you an accurate assessment.
