Understanding Monocoat Oil

Monocoat Oil is a premium, non-toxic wood finish developed by Magnifico to enhance and protect wood surfaces. It provides:

  • Excellent clarity with minimal yellowing
  • Enhanced adhesion when paired with epoxy
  • Deep penetration into wood grain for strength
  • Scratch and chemical resistance
  • A natural, matte-to-gloss finish depending on application

Its oil-based curing properties allow you to control flow and achieve professional-grade finishes on everything from furniture to art pieces. Applications and Techniques.

Here are some practical ways to use Monocoat Oil in your resin and wood projects:

 Artistic Creations

  • Coat coasters, serving boards, or wall pieces before resin pour.
  • Combine with pigments, mica powders, and inclusions for unique patterns.

 Functional Surfaces

  • Perfect for dining tables, countertops, and floors.
  • Scratch resistance ensures long-lasting protection even with daily use.

 Industrial Use

  • Excellent for workshops, showrooms, and kitchens.
  • Chemical resistance makes cleaning and maintenance easier.

Pro Tip: When working with resin on wood, always prepare your workspace, measure accurately, and mix thoroughly. For large projects, pour in layers and let each partially cure before the next.

Tips for Success with Monocoat Oil + Epoxy

  1. Surface Prep → Ensure wood is clean, dry, and level. A thin coat of Monocoat Oil before resin pour improves adhesion and enhances grain appearance.
  2. Mixing Ratio → Always follow manufacturer ratios (usually 2:1 or 1:1). Incorrect ratios can cause tacky surfaces or incomplete curing.
  3. Temperature & Humidity → Resin cures best at 22–25°C with low humidity. Extreme conditions can cause bubbles, amine blush, or defects.
  4. Safety → Wear gloves and eye protection, and work in a ventilated space. Avoid fumes and keep resin/oil away from children and pets.
