At Priory Polishes, our Rustins range includes Danish Oil, Yacht Varnish, wood dyes, French polish, Button Polish, sanding sealer, floor oil, worktop oil, wood fillers, paints and metal restoration products.

Rustins Danish Oil

Rustins Danish Oil is one of the best-known products in the Rustins range. It provides a natural-looking oil finish for suitable timber and can be used on furniture, doors, joinery and other wood surfaces where an oil finish is appropriate.

Danish Oil is available in different pack sizes and is a popular choice for enhancing the appearance of timber while providing a practical protective finish. Always check the product instructions for the intended application and preparation requirements.

Rustins Wood Oils

Alongside Danish Oil, our range includes Rustins Tung Oil, Teak Oil, Raw Linseed Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil, Floor Oil, Quick Dry Door Oil and Quick Dry Worktop Oil. These products provide different options for finishing and maintaining suitable timber surfaces.

The correct oil will depend on the type of wood, the location of the surface and the finish you want to achieve. For example, worktop oil is specifically intended for suitable wooden worktops, while floor oil is designed for appropriate wooden flooring.

Rustins Wood Varnish

Rustins Yacht Varnish is available in gloss and satin finishes and is designed for suitable interior and exterior wood. It provides a durable protective coating and is particularly associated with applications where a hard-wearing varnish finish is required.

Rustins also offers other varnishes and protective finishes for timber. The appropriate product will depend on whether you are finishing furniture, doors, floors, exterior wood or another timber surface.

Rustins Wood Dye and Wood Stain

Rustins Wood Dye is available in a selection of colours for adding or changing the colour of suitable bare timber while allowing the grain to remain visible. It can be useful for furniture restoration, colour matching and preparing wood before applying a compatible protective finish.

Always test the chosen colour on an offcut or inconspicuous area first, as the final appearance will vary according to the type, colour and condition of the timber.

Rustins French Polish and Button Polish

Our range includes Rustins French Polish and Rustins Button Polish for traditional furniture finishing and French polishing. Button Polish contains refined shellac dissolved in alcohol and produces a warm tone with a high-gloss finish when applied correctly.

Rustins Shellac Sanding Sealer can also be used as part of a traditional wood-finishing system. These products are particularly useful for furniture restoration and other projects where a shellac-based finish is required.

Rustins Wood Fillers

Rustins Wood Filler and Grain Filler provide options for repairing and preparing suitable timber before finishing. Grain filler can be particularly useful when preparing open-grained wood for a smoother polished finish, while specialist wood fillers are available for repairing holes, cracks and other surface defects.

Rustins also produces a two-part professional wood filler and Plastic Wood in selected colours. Choose the filler according to the size and type of repair and the finish that will be applied afterwards.

Rustins Wood Restoration Products

The Rustins range includes several products for furniture repair and restoration. Rustins Ring Remover is designed for treating suitable ring, water and heat marks, while Scratch Cover can help disguise scratches and marks on suitable wooden surfaces.

Rustins Strypit provides an option for removing suitable old paint and varnish when a surface needs to be stripped before refinishing. Wood Hardener and Woodworm Killer are also available for specific timber restoration and treatment requirements.

Rustins Paint for Wood and Metal

Rustins produces a selection of decorative and specialist paints for suitable wood and metal surfaces. Our range includes Quick Dry Matt Black, Quick Dry Black Gloss, Satin Black, Blackboard Black, Gold Paint, All Surface Paint and Heat Resistant Black Paint.

Rustins Quick Dry Radiator Paint is another specialist option for suitable radiators, while Red Oxide Metal Primer can be used as part of the preparation of appropriate iron and steel surfaces.

Rustins Metal Restoration Products

Our Rustins range also includes products for metal cleaning, rust treatment and protection. Rustins Rust Remover can be used on suitable rusty iron and steel, while Rust Converter provides an alternative treatment for appropriate rusted metal surfaces.

For decorative metals, Rustins Brass Restorer and Metal Shine provide options for cleaning and improving the appearance of suitable metal surfaces. Rustins Metal Lacquer can then provide a clear protective coating where appropriate.

Rustins Exterior Wood Finishes

Rustins offers several products for exterior timber, including Yacht Varnish, Teak Oil and suitable exterior wood oils. The best choice depends on the type of timber, its exposure to weather and whether you want an oil or varnish finish.

For exterior projects, preparation is particularly important. Make sure the timber is clean, sound and suitably prepared before applying the chosen finish, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding application and maintenance.

Choosing the Right Rustins Product

The right Rustins finish depends on the surface, its existing condition and the result you want to achieve.

For an oil finish, Rustins Danish Oil and the specialist floor, door and worktop oils provide different options. For a harder protective coating, Yacht Varnish may be suitable for appropriate timber. For traditional furniture finishing, Rustins French Polish and Button Polish are designed for shellac-based finishing, while Rustins Wood Dye can be used where timber colour needs to be changed or matched.

For repairs, Rustins offers fillers, Scratch Cover and Ring Remover, while the range of metal treatments provides options for cleaning, rust treatment and protecting suitable metalwork.

Always check the individual product instructions before use and test the product on a small, inconspicuous area where appropriate, particularly when working on antique furniture or an existing finish.
