Assembly
Sanding
- Sand the entire surface before applying oil.
- Sand the top and edges until they feel smooth to the touch.
Oil finish
- After sanding, apply Watco oil.
- After covering the whole surface, wait about 15 minutes, wipe off excess oil, then let it dry for about an hour.
- Once dry, repeat the same process one more time.
- Finish by lightly sanding with sandpaper and wiping off any remaining oil.
