The main waterproofing solutions are:
- Oil: penetrates the fibers and offers renewable, natural protection
- Varnish: creates a protective film resistant to water and wear
- Sealer: maximum protection for intensive use
Application is done on clean, dry wood, following the direction of the grain. For a custom worktop, the treatment choice depends on the wood species and intended use. Light sanding between coats optimizes adhesion and durability of the treatment.
