The Oil

After numerous base coats and coats of gloss, we finally removed the tape. Thankfully there was barely any bleeding at all. We had a slight issue in the workshop where the newspaper we laid the finished paintwork on discoloured our hard work. It didn't take too much paint to fix it luckily, and so we were able to begin oiling without too much delay. Danish Oil was the chosen type to use. Hannah was responsible for the oiling, as we were informed it would be best to have one person doing the oiling as it would help to ensure that they would all be continuous with one another.

 We thought it was important to first do a test, to see how far the oil would spread and sink in upon application- just in case the oil would lift off the paintwork and undo our many coats of hard work.
