“Very good product. Hard to believe the first review. Waterlox has been in business for many years for good reason! I was glad to find this after my previous tung oil finish was no longer available. Itâ€™s beeâ€™s knees for anyone wanting to bring out that beautiful oiled look especially for darker hardwoods including exotics. Iâ€™ll buy Waterlox again and again. One customer in 2019 was very pleased such that he requested the same thing for all the laminated hardwood restaurant surfaces Iâ€™m making in 2020 for restaurant #2. Another customer this year LOVED Waterlox on his large, black walnut computer surface I recently completed. Tip: Be sure to eliminate any air in leftover portions so that whatâ€™s left will remain good for a long time. One trick is to squeeze the can until the liquid level rises back to the top of the opening.”

“This is a very expensive product. I used it because the poly on my floor had flaked off because of water and I wanted something that wouldn't do that. However , there is a large list of do's and don'ts on their website and I found it a pain to use. The finish is very dark, the color of red wine. It changes the stain color a lot. They want 3 coats at a certain app rate and it was hard to apply it at that rate. For another user and me, you need more than 3 coats, but I only applied 3 because I ran out of time. With many coats ,the color is very dark. They say, keep a fan on for 7 days, we kept the fan on for at least 3 weeks. We had to do it in the fall when the temperatures lower. It has been 4 weeks and I can still smell the tung oil some. It bubbles easily, especially if the surface is rough. I would sand between coats, even through you don't have to. Right now it is very soft and fragile and easily scratched down to the wood. I used Deft stain with Tung oil and it is possible that the stain prevented the finish from penetrating into the wood. They want you to use the sealer first. If you want to the satin finish, you have to spend more money for the other product. I wouldn't use this again.”
