Review on πŸ” Discover Odie's Oil - The Ultimate Universal Solution in a 9oz Jar by Leo Govindan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The best finishing product. Unbelievable. Works on everything.

this is amazing. If you go to their website they have videos on applying and rubbing but if you get creative there is no limit. Here are some unauthorized things I do with it on curly wood: 1) Dilute it 50/50 with Audi's Safe Thinner and it will go much deeper. They call it "Odie's Super Penetrating Oil". 2) If you heat the wood during application, the results can be even better. 3) Can be tinted. 4) Apply with a gray pad. If you're making a floor or flat surface, use a credit card, they say. It also smells nice, which probably everyone who uses it will comment on. Look for scrap! You won't get rid of it if something goes wrong unless you grind very, very deep. It's not a good idea to sand the veneer that much! BTW: I used it on quilted maple veneer and it went so deep I can see the mahogany on the back pretty clearly underneath all the 3D and holographic patterning. I used it on an unfinished wooden box and moved the top layer all the way to the bottom of the box. This stuff is spreading and infiltrating like you've never seen it before. I love this label too. Very cool. The only downside is that this material is a bit pricey, but it has a lot of stretch. A jar can take a while for a typical hobbyist like me.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • not the best
