Q: I see on your site that you recommend Waterlox versus 100% tung oil. Do you sell Waterlox or do you just really believe in this product?
A: No, I don’t sell it. I’ve had some very good experience with it and at least for staining pine, mixing the stain with the Waterlox saved me hours and hours of ‘on my knees’ staining. Excellent water repellency and decent durability to foot traffic in a real penetrating oil which is easy to apply with no adhesion issues between coats.
