Greetings to all -
For quite some time, my go to finish (after any stain or dye) has been a penetrating oil followed by wax or shellac and wax. I generally use a couple coats of Watco Danish Oil to pop the grain, with plenty of time allowed for absorption prior to wiping off and a day or so of curing time prior to the next step. I'm down to the bottom of my last can and need to restock. A recent FWW newsletter linked a "finishing shootout" from 2005 that spoke highly of a Minwax wipe on poly. Any users of this product out there? I'm wondering if it penetrates as well as the Danish Oil, or just sits on the surface?
