Rubio and guitars - "I build acoustic guitars in Methven. Rubio Monocoat is a real option when it comes to finishing, producing wonderful, punched-out grain patterns for very little effort on my part. It's one of my go-to products."

"We love Rubio Monocoat - we've been using it for about 15 years in South Africa and now in New Zealand too!"

"Awesome stuff. Great oil to work with. Gives a really good depth of stain for a finely sanded timber. Recommend doing samples on timber of choice with a variety of grain/colour as mine enhanced a-lot of the natural colours. Goes a very long way, consider how much you need before mixing with accelerator as any leftovers are toast. Will definitely use in future projects."

"First time using Rubio but they've made sure it's the only finish I'll use. Refinished an old rimu desk and all I can say is it looks amazing and I could not be happier with the result. Application was very straight forward and easy, this stuff is just awesome."

"Great product. Great finish. Easy to apply even by first time DIY enthusiast"

"It's mint, very east to use, looks great on rimu. And a little goes a long way."

" Best oil ever. I. Love. This. Product. I have used a lot of different oils and finishing products over the years and this one lives up to everything I have heard about it. I cannot wait to use it again and am planning the next thing to finish with it!"

"Fantastic product , sanded recycled kauri to 150 # Cleaned surface with acetone Mixed up a batch of Rubio colour chocolate Applied with white pad Wiped off excess after 15 mins Disposed of all the rags as instructed ( health and safety) Finish and colour is amazing"

"Great Product.  Very pleased to make contact with the NZ agent. Used extensively in South Africa prior to immigration.
Shipped in a day and super service all round. Highly recommended."

"Great Product. I tried on Walnut. Works great. Easy to apply, shows off the grain, and a small amount goes a long way."

"Highlighted the wood's grain beautifully. Very easy to work with. Smooth finish. Would use again without hesitation."

"This is a brilliant product and the service I received was second to none. Thanks"
