Waterlox Universal Tung Oil Sealer, 1 Quart

The best thing about this product is the ease of application. Butcher Block looks fantastic. Just going to finish with satin finish!

Very easy to apply. I used Organic Bamboo Reusable Makeup Remover Pads available on Amazon to apply it.I used it on walnut and was impressed. I used 2 coats as recommended for wood with high tannins. I then applied Waterlox's H2OloX. The Tung oil seals the wood. The H2OloX covers it for protection. Urethanes can be used instead of the H2OloX for protection. The H2OloX is applied with a foam brush.

I followed the Waterlox videos exactly and used two coats of this sealant before applying three coats of WaterloxH20. It took a good two weeks to finish as I did the underside of the counter for a pantry first, then let that dry well, and did the same thing on the top. All this was done before the counter was installed. I did a test run on a piece of my wood first as suggested, and applied a stain. I used it on a two inch thick douglas fir wood which was a ton less expensive than butcher block. As warned, the final product was a bit darker than I had planned, but it did turn out beautiful. I do not know yet about the durability or water resistance., but I don't plan on having much water on it, except to clean it. I debated between the satin and the matte. Was worried the matte would be too dull, but it has a nice, rich looking low sheen to it.

This stuff makes your projects look so much. Prettier

This did exactly what it said ,I have new butcher block countertops they look amazingNo water damage
