Have you heard of Hemp Oil?
If you haven’t used it yet, once you do you will wish you had it in your kit years ago!
Wood is beautiful. With patina and lovely markings, it is often the star of the show. But sometimes wood is just, well, thirsty.
Do you know what I mean? You just know that it has a dried-up feel, like it needs to be loved a little.
Time to grab the Hemp Oil.
Take a look at this snap from one of our Fusion Merchants. Here Ashley used Hemp Oil on the inside of a drawer. What a difference.
This truly is absolutely the most amazing and easy-to-use wood finishing oil!
If I haven’t convinced you already – here are a few reasons why we LOVE Hemp Oil
- It is Food Safe – got a butcher block? Use Hemp Oil!
- It has No Chemicals
- Is Biodegradable
- 100% Natural pressed Hemp Seed
- And contains No Additives
You can use Hemp Oil on new or old wood to hydrate it and keep it looking gorgeous, or on old wood to revive it and bring back its richness.
Using this oil hydrates your hands and leaves them smelling like crushed walnuts. Simply gorgeous to work with!
You can even add it over the top of Milk Paint. Frank, from Muddaritaville used Hemp Oil over top of Curio Brown Milk Paint and you’ll want to check it out!
For Furniture, table tops and even floors this oil does not leave a surface film that will chip or scratch.
As an added bonus, this oil does not need to be cut with any solvents as it is a natural pure drying oil all on its own. Plus it is super pretty to look at!
Applying Hemp Oil couldn’t be easier, use a brush or pad to apply it, and remove any excess oil after about 1 hour.
It’s important to note coverage will vary, you must take into consideration what the oil is being applied to. For example, a previously oiled surface will require very little oil, whereas bare wood will require more.
Let the wood tell you what it needs, if it looks dry, simply add more!
TIP:
The oil will feel dry to the touch one day after the initial application, however complete drying can be several days.
For example, if there is too much oil initially applied, then small amounts of oil may rise over the first few days. You can avoid this by wiping the excess away with a cloth. We recommend placing some cardboard pieces if there will be a lot of foot traffic on the floor during the first few days. You should keep Dirty shoes off the floor for at least two weeks.

Hi. I’m just wondering if I need a wood conditioner on the wood before I use the hemp oil? Or is it in itself a wood conditioner? Thank you????
: It is not necessary to use a wood conditioner. If the wood is more porous, or drier in certain areas, it will pull more oil. Keep applying, and wiping back the excess after a couple of hours. Do not let the oil sit for more than 12 hours without wiping and buffing it back. It’s a really gorgeous oil to work with that is very forgiving!
Thank you so much!
Hello, can you tell me if I can use tough coat over the top of hemp oil once it’s dried? Would you please email me the answer to [email protected] as I’m very very new to this site and I am needing the answer asap. Thanks, karen
Hello! anytime you apply and Oil or a Wax, you can no longer apply any waterbased coatings on it. Tough Coat is waterbased, so I would not reccomend putting it over the Hemp OIl. If you want to increase the sheen, add more hemp oil and buff. 🙂
Can the hemp oil be applied over the Fusion paint as a an additional top coat. I heavily sanded a piece and would love to make the color look a little richer
