Rocky8810 asked 5 years ago

I’ve tung oiled maple kitchen and bath cabinets and interior birds eye maple doors: 50% with Citrus Solvent, then 75%, then 2 coats 100% tung oil. I need to seal them to keep them from drying out, because reapplying oil is not practical in my situation. I was considering Original Waterlock satin finish. What are your recommendations, and do you recommend I use something else? Thank you

Since you have lots of moisture in the kit and bath rooms, use a Spar Varnish, use it for all of that work, a clear, satin finish works best… Good Luck…

Give then one coat of oil base varnish, use a satin finish… be sure to apply it correctly… see my webpage for help: http://davmagic.com/paint/PAGES39.html
