All Natural Sauna Wood Oil for Restoring and Protecting Saunas | Interior and Exterior Application | Cedar Scent | 1 Gallon Size

I read some of the reviews and was a bit skeptical concerning the smell and smoke when burning off the few times after application. I applied the oil with a HVLP High volume low pressure sprayer it worked great. Hit a few of the areas twice that soaked up the oil. The sauna was warmed up to about 105 degrees. I let it cool until the next day. I turned the heater on and heated it up two more times in three days. The oil was dry and accentuated the grains of the wood. No smoke smell a light oil smell as such when sealing any wood but not overwhelming or very noticeable at all. Overall, gave the product two thumbs up. Attached pictures of wood sealed and prior to sealing for context.

Easy application, looks great, but doesn't smell anything close to cedar, oil smell is the only way to describe, not bad, just not cedar, oh, no smoke.

I purchased it based on all positive reviews. As soon as I opened the box, and read their note, I realized that reviews can't be trusted anymore. Their note says "If you enjoy our product, be sure to leave a remark on amazon. We often return the favor by sending the free Scandia hydrometer". In other words if you post good rating you will receive a gift. Based on the instruction, I heated sauna to 90 and applied the oil. After that I heated to 160 and opened the door to let it cool of and kept the door open for 24 hours. Next day, when I turned on the sauna, I use 190F, the room was filled with cloud of smoke. I thought that after a while it will go away. I opened the door and ventilated the room. Tried 3 times, still smoke, turned the temperature off and let the door open. Next day same story. And even next day. On the forth day, my cedar began to be lighter, but smoke doesn't go away. Their oil smoke smells like machine oil ughh. I used my new sauna for more than a month and never had any smoke. Finally, I gave up, mixed water with dish soup and began to wash everything away, rinsing it with water hose. My wood turned to almost the same color as it was before treatment but the moment the sauna reaches 190F it still gives the cloud of smoke. I washed everything second time, using the same method. It still produces smoke under 190F, and releases some oil to my glass door. I am returning this non working item and will do research how to get rid of this oil. My brother used more expensive product based on paraffin oil and didn't have this issue using the same temperature I used. If you use temperature 170F or below then you should be fine, but not with higher temperatures.

I looked and looked for a nice oil to finish my sauna...and there was not much out there...so I went with this. 100% Awesome. Gave the cedar a rich look that I was looking for. You do have to shake this bottle like crazy before using. I tried using a brush, but that was a failure, so I loaded this stuff into an old 409 spray bottle (Well...I made it OLD...I dumped out the rest of the 409..LOL) and went to town. After dowsing a wall, a quick wipe with a soft towel to get the extra off and I was done. I would NEVER recommend you trying to brush this on...it would take days. A sprayer works best...I suppose you could use a weed sprayer too. The cool thing about using a sprayer is that it gets into all of the crevices and between the slats easily. Took me about 2 hours to finish. Love it.

Darkens interior wood but protects. Cedar scent is lighter afterwards. I sorted the oil, ran a cycle the next day then left for vacation for 9days. Returned ran a cycle, fan w/door open for 3-4 hours and one more cycle. It felt fine to going in after all that. Recommended tools- oil, cover for heater & rocks, Sm. Pump/sprayer, paint brush and tile sponge.

We use it every 6 month and it keeps the wood in sauna it good shape.

Amazing, simple amazing! This restored my sauna to like new condition. Yes, the color of the wood has a darker appearance afterwards. it also gives the wood more depth illuminating various features of the wood grain. In my case, old sweat rings disappeared and even a few spaces where the previous owner had used tape, are difficult to see. I can see them because I know where to look. I completely disassembled my entire sauna to ensure every piece of wood was protected with a nice coating of this product. I used the entire gallon in my three man sauna. This may have been a little more than was needed because I found I had to add a few more heating cycles before the sauna could be used because there was too much oily vapor released for the first couple. I also believe I needed a few more heating cycles because my sauna only goes to 140 F and as I recall the directions tell you to set the heating cycle to 160 F.

Was a mistake to apply this to our beautiful sauna. We're going on 4 weeks of daily multi hour runs to de-smoke the unit. It is getting less each day but this is crazy, another over about 140-150F and it starts smoking. The glass is oily so I know that would be our lungs if we were to use it and aerosolized mineral oils are linked to exogenous lipoid pneumonia, so it's not something to mess around with. I'm really hoping we didn't completely ruin our sauna. I've now purchased fans to suck the smoke out to hopefully make this process go faster. We only applied 1 coat using a rag.
