natural hemp oil from Real Milk PaintUses for Hemp Oil on Furniture, Wood Floors and Other Surfaces

For versatility in your home improvement projects, consider Hemp Oil. Uses for Hemp Oil are abound thanks to its all-natural oil formulation that boasts a thin consistency for easy application and fuss-free absorption into porous surfaces such as raw wood and other wood species.

Whether you need something to finish wood crafts, seal raw wood furniture, topcoat painted furniture, or complete a painted surface, Hemp Oil from The Real Milk Paint Co. has you covered with a hypoallergenic design ideal for those with sensitivities. Hemp Oil is also food safe which allows it to work great for refreshing butcher blocks and wooden kitchen utensils.

Finishing Wood

One of the main uses for Hemp Oil is finishing wood. No matter if you’ve just laid down new hardwood flooring, made crafts from scratch or built a new deck, applying Hemp Oil offers the perfect way to complete your hard work. It naturally brings out the character and beauty of the wood grain, making it look almost as if the wood was wet.

Use Hemp Oil to penetrate wood deeply and achieve an enduring finish that resists water and UV rays for hassle-free use on outdoor furnishings. It also dries quickly, although it takes up to 30 days to fully cure. Keep in mind that if you apply Hemp Oil correctly, remember to wipe out excess oil with a lint free cloth and let it fully dry and cure, it will not leave a film behind, giving your projects a clean, polished look with a perfectly matte finish.

Sealing Furniture

The protective qualities make sealing furniture one of the best uses for Hemp Oil. Whether you’re starting with raw wood on pieces you’ve created, shining up an old table you stripped down for sealing or want something to breathe new life into a tired wood finish, apply Hemp Oil to seal wood furniture and get that extra protection it deserves.

The thin formulation makes it simple to rub into surfaces, and its nutty fragrance and minuscule amount of environmentally friendly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) make it pleasant to apply with a painting sponge, lint free cloth or paintbrush. Because Hemp Oil provides resistance to water and UV rays, great uses for Hemp Oil include treating front-porch swings and sealing wooden garden benches.

Finishing Painted Surfaces

Though Hemp Oil works great on raw wood and stained wood alike, it also provides a nice finish to surfaces covered in Real Milk Paint. Though Hemp Oil has a green tint in the bottle, it goes on virtually clear.

When you apply hemp oil over more colorful variants of Real Milk Paint like Navy Blue, Barn Red, or Earth Green it will make the color more saturated and deeper. Alternatively, when you apply hemp oil over lighter milk paint colors like Soft White and Stoneware, it tends to make them more grey. Because Real Milk Paint is a water-based formulation, it penetrates wood deeply, and one coat of Hemp Oil over the top of it helps preserve your pieces from the inside out.

Preserving Wood and Metal

Because this natural formulation is food-safe and environmentally friendly, more Hemp Oil uses include preserving wooden utensils and treating cutting boards. Additionally, it works well for revamping rusted cast iron items and adding water resistance to objects crafted with paperboard materials.

Feel free to get creative with your uses for Hemp Oil by experimenting with time-worn items in need of some TLC, like weathered wooden garden tool handles. Use it to polish up old metal containers, then use them to store everything from dog treats to birdseed, or put it to work on your butcher block countertops to give your kitchen a country-style feel.

Flexible application options with either a rag or paintbrush make Hemp Oil suitable for numerous uses around your home or workshop. Just make sure to wipe excess hemp oil and let it completely dry for a more quality finish.
