WHAT IT IS-
Odie’s Universal Oil (OO) is a revolutionary true hard wax oil finish that was originally developed for wood but is so versatile it can be used on almost anything! Food safe, solvent free and non toxic, containing no added driers, heavy metals or part 2 catalyst.
WHAT IT DOES-
Odie’s Universal Oil protects, stabilizes, beautifies, waterproofs and enhances any surface easily, safely and naturally. Provides a lustrous sheen in one coat! Odie's oil is clear curing and non yellowing while containing natural UV inhibitors, helping to protect from the sun's harmful radiation. OO penetrates, cross links and bonds molecularly, becoming one with any surface it’s applied to and does not sit on top as a shell orfilm like many conventional finishes. It cures fast and hard while also remaining flexible. This means it will never peel, flake, chip, delaminate, wrinkle or leave unsightly white scratch marks or cracks! Odie’s Universal Oil will actually get better with age, becoming more durable and more beautiful!

TO USE-
-Stir or mix well as ingredients may settle overtime
-Calculate how much oil you need for your project based on wood species or surface material. Remember a little Odie’s goes a long way, do not over apply! Apply sparingly with a non woven pad (rated equal to or just higher than your last sanding grit) and work the oil into the surface using circular motions. The friction from the application process helps to loosen up and drive the oil into the surface.
-Once the finish has been thoroughly worked into the surface, allow to set up for approximately 10 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the surface applied to (45-60 minutes typically being the ideal time for wood) For surfaces like leather, metal, plastic, stone, epoxy and concrete, you can buff off almost immediately after application. Do not allow the product to set for more than 8- 10 hours, this may result in a reapplication with Odie’s Universal Oil to reactivate the finish for a proper buff/wipe off.
-Now it’s time to Buff Off and remove any and all excess/residual oil from the surface until dry to touch. Take a clean terry cotton towel and scrub the surface clean, making sure to regularly flip to a clean section of towel as it gets loaded up with oil. Switch to a clean towel if/when needed. If you can swipe a clean finger across the surface without leaving a mark, you are done!
-Most surfaces can be handled almost immediately and lightly used within 24-48 hrs. Please allow 3-5 days cure time before being subjected to standing liquids.
-Additional coats of your favorite Odysseus Cornwall’s finish, Odie’s Universal Oil, Odie’s Wood Butter or Mr. Cornwall’s Super Duper Everlasting Oil can be applied using the same easy steps as above. We recommend waiting a day between coats with the exception of Odie’s Waxes, if top coating with Odie’s waxes, ideally, we recommend 3-5 days cure time.
-For non porous surfaces like epoxy resin, metal, stone and polished concrete much less oil is needed in the application process, please see coverage metrics.
TO MAINTAIN-
The typical Odie’s Universal Oil finished floor will easily perform for 10-15+ years with regular cleaning and care before ever needing any maintenance. The only way to weather finish away is to weather surface away itself. If and when the time comes for some maintenance, whether it’s your floor, a countertop, tabletop or cutting board etc, simply clean the surface (check out to clean your Odie’s treated surfaces here) and apply another light coat of your desired choice of Odysseus Cornwall’s finish as per their instructions. For exterior projects, maintenance will depend on the direct exposure to the elements and the products originally used to finish the project. In extreme conditions, maintenance could be once a year to once every several years or longer in normal conditions.

Odie's Oil 32 oz. Jar
Excellent and wish I could post pictures. I have a Brazilian Cherry Floor. We sanded the floor used the Odies Stain to make the flooring darker and then used Odies Oil to finish. One of the great features of the products for me is how safe it is to use. As a Remodeling Contractor it is easier to articulate the value to a client.

Odie’s oil
I have really enjoyed working with Obie’s Oil. We are applying it to Southern Yellow Pine tongue and groove siding that we are using for the ceiling in a small timber frame house we are building. Odie’s Oil is creating a rich and warm texture that really highlights the grain.

Odie's Oil
I am using Odie's to revive the long neglected teak wood on our 30 year old boat. Some of the exterior wood was so deteriorated I was afraid to sand it. So I didn't. I scrubbed it with general boat soap to remove surface grime and rubbed down the wood with a steel wool pad to get deeper grime. After it dried, I poured Odie's straight from the 32 oz glass jar onto the wood and spread it will a rubber gloved hand. That's it. I waited 3 days, then applied another coat of Odie's to the still thirsty wood. Still did not rub it in. 2 weeks later, I used a white scrubber and rubbed in the small amount of Odie's that remained on the top of the wood. It took only a few minutes because most of the Odie's was sucked deep into the teak. It has been 2 months, with rain and sun beating down on the wood and it looks great! It sheds water like a dream and I swear the wood is stronger. I will be using Odie's on every piece of teak on this boat. The days of babying layers of synthetic varnish are OVER on our boat. Hands down, the healthiest, easiest to use wood product I have ever found.

Great product
I’ve been using odies oil for the last few months and I could not be happier. Watching the true color of the wood come out is one of my favorite parts of the process. My cutting boards look and feel amazing. Watching the water still roll right off the boards months later is why I trust this product. It’s amazing how such a little bit will go such a long way. Plus it smells ridiculously good too

As a furniture maker i finally switched completely over to Odie's Oil several years ago. The chemicals of all the other products out there were just to much! The ease of application, durability, and the drop-dead beautiful finish... well its just a no brainer. Thanks Odie's! #BuiltByBurk
