This stuff is absolutely fantastic
This stuff is absolutely fantastic! Previously used Waterlox on other projects but this beats it, although will have to see if stands the test of time. If I had to guess, it will…it just feels like a hard solid seal. I used it to finish maple butcher block countertops for DIY kitchen reno. Sanded down to 220 finish and applied 4 coats waiting at least 24 hours between, tack clothing before reapplication. I will say after the final coat the feel of the finish was not as silky smooth as to my liking, likely due to inevitable dust and particles suspended in excess oil that had not penetrated the wood sitting on top (possibly overzealous w application). Still, I let sit about a week to cure and then steel wooled with 0000 all over. Removed a layer of gummiess. And WOW! The steel wool dulled/lightened the finish just slightly so I decided to do one more very thin coat,let it dry 2 days then buffed with a cloth and the result is absolutely magnificent. It’s like glass. I think if you have trouble with the finish or feel just be patient and play around with it a bit and you won’t be sorry! Seems pretty fool proof. Amazing smell, gorgeous color. A+++
