Will do Wayne, thanks again and cheers to you.

I'll just put a coat on for the feel. If people start leaving boogers or gum under there we're going to have issues. Thanks to all who helped this noob.

OK, I promise this is the last question about this island. Finished putting 5 coats of ARS on it(came out nice). The island has a 12" overhang for counter seating. Should I put a coat or two on the...

Thanks for that Wayne. I'll just use a tack-cloth. Cheers to you.

About to put the second coat of ARS on a WO kitchen island top. Waited 24hrs and scuff sanded with 400. Was going to vacuum and wipe it with a little MS. Was wondering if that might cause blotching...

Yeah, a little trans-tint might warm it up, but the Arm-R-Seal looks so good, why? That said, just doing that sample board with the ARS I got a pretty good buzz. All the windows were open but, ugh....

To recap from an old post, putting a finish on a white oak kitchen island top. Had decided on Arm-R-Seal, but saw the Behlen on sale so I thought I'd try it. Put 5 coats each side by side on an extra...

Will let ya know on the "color", gonna do a side by side with the Arm-R-Seal. I'm hoping it ambers up a little.

Well, I've never used Arm-R-Seal so I guess I don't have a technique! (Actually the last time I finished anything was in 8th grade shop class, so I'm kinda jumping right in the deep end.) Have read...

I'm sure it's probably a quality product, but I'm more concerned with how it is to apply. Looks like it's meant to be brushed on which is nice because I'm not set up to spray. I also looked at the...

Thanks for that. If it's newer and not really used much yet, I'll just go with the arm-r-seal.

Hi all, I'm about to start putting a finish on a reclaimed white oak kitchen island top. I've pretty much decided on 5-6 coats of Arm-R-Seal, but I just got an ad from Woodcraft that they have the...

The stock I'm cutting the plugs from is the same as the island top - 2"X6-1/2"X7', so I have plenty to work with. Looks like a neat trick, but I'm not really a wood worker, just a homeowner with a...

Yea, the general consensus of the people I've had look at it is it looks odd. Oh well, drilling new plugs today. Luckily I have plenty of material. Thanks for the replies.

I cut the plugs from the face grain. There was significant wear/weathering around the edges of where the dowels had been that was filled in with black Timbermate so hiding the plugs was not an...

Hi all, new to the forum. We just had a kitchen island made with reclaimed white oak boards. Really beautiful stuff, nail stains, dowel holes etc. from a 100 year old barn in Indiana, supposedly....
