I am planning on using this on a wood surface counter I am making for the in-law kitchen. Would this water proof the wood as well? Im putting a sink.

Yes it will waterproof very well indeed! I have a cutting board that my husband made me 3 years ago, I keep my knives butcher sharp and use my cutting board almost every day. I wish I could send a picture of how well it has stood up to my knives and washing it with warm water and mild soap every time! There are barely any marks on it, in fact it dulls my knives. I also made an umbrella stand from hardwood and finished with Butcher Block. We live in rainy Germany and there's not one water stain on it! I couldn't say enough about this product! You won't be sorry for using it. I would put at least 2 maybe even 3 coats on it if it's a counter top. It goes a long way because it isn't real thick, so I use thin coats but a couple should do you. Good luck!

Looking for a watco butcher block finish that is a satin finish. which product will give me that?

This is not the product you want. It gives a high gloss finish, almost like glass. You might try a mixture of 3 parts mineral oil to 1 part bees wax, this will give you a nice satin finish, protect from water and is also food safe.

Can someone tell me the ingredients. Thanks

what are the ingredients including type of oil?

I sanded butcher block, wiped on evenly and finish keeps coming out blotchy even after light sanding What else can I do?,

Just a heads up. The longer Watco butcher block oil is exposed to air, while in the can, the thicker it will become. If the thicker product is then applied to a board, it will loose some of it's penetrating capabilities and will get tacky sooner. You may have also purchased something that's been on the shelf a while. Typically, it's very thin when fresh.That said, I always wipe off the excess within a minute or two, sometimes this will take some extra effort as it does become tacky. Stay vigilant with the removal of the excess oil as it will help eliminate those blotchy spots, so wipe it down well. FYI, some woods may tend to show some slight spottiness with Watco's despite the best vigilance on your part.

Used this to refinish our butcher block and it worked great. Application was simple, the finish looked clean and rich, and it brought the wood back to life. I’ll definitely repurchase when it’s time for the next round of maintenance. Recommend if you want something that’s effective and low fuss sealer. No strong fumes (although it does have a smell), dries quickly and good coverage without scratching

It colourless, dries fast and easy to apply. It dries quickly in the tin so better to change the container once you open it. Bought is twice already

Descubrir Watco 241758 Butcher Block Oil & Finish ha sido una revelación para el tratamiento de mi escritorio. En mi búsqueda de un acabado no tóxico de alta calidad, este producto destacó notoriamente. A pesar de su precio, la cobertura uniforme y la facilidad de aplicación justifican la inversión. Es importante destacar que no es un barniz de poliuretano, por lo que no crea una capa brillante y protectora, sino que ofrece un acabado más mate que realza la belleza natural de la madera, destacando su veta y proporcionando un aspecto fino y elegante. La no toxicidad es un enorme plus, dándome tranquilidad en el uso diario. La característica que más valoro es que permite que la madera 'respire' y asegura que con el tiempo no se formarán grietas ni descascarillados. Ya era admirador de los aceites daneses y los selladores Rostoleum, pero Watco ha añadido un nuevo nivel de acabado natural a mi repertorio. Para aquellos que prefieran métodos aún más naturales, podrían optar por aceite de tung puro, pero la comodidad y el menor tiempo de secado de Watco, junto con la eliminación de pasos adicionales, hacen que el precio sea absolutamente razonable. ¡Cinco estrellas merecidas por este excepcional producto!
