A renovation with Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C is a simple process that brings the surface back to life without requiring major sanding.

The renovation process is recommended if you need to re-introduce the original applied color. This is typically caused by not maintaining the surface properly or in the case of an accident.

Quite simply: a wood surface that is finished with Rubio Monocoat’s hardwax oil can last indefinitely when cared for properly.

PJ used Rubio Monocoat primarily because of the one coat technology.  With so many projects going on and countless contractors to coordinate, it is invaluable for PJ to be able to knock out the whole staining process in one day.  As PJ himself put it, “There is no two, three coat application.  We save ourselves two or three days in the process.”
