Awesome to have all of these in one place to compare!

Great info! Did you use a precondition product before applying these finishes?

[lindabaileytlc]

I made a big mistake and used Watco tung oil on a pine wood wall. It yellowed the wall, and I am sick. I tried a sample piece with Minwax tung oil with no change in appearance. Unfortunately I realized the different brand too late. Just sick!

Can you apply stain on the top of Danish Oil?

Quick question for you, Can I apply a coat of Polyurethane over boiled linseed oil? Thx.

Good video idea, only if I could actually see close ups I cant see anything and when they're side by side and the camera at a wierd angle :(

[brazenbunnies]

I would have thought poly clear gloss would feel plastic like. I’m surprised you said it was most natural. We’re you just talking about color?

[EvilMrRogers]

A little to much light in the recording made it hard to see and made it seemed a little white washed. The close up helped wasn't as bad. Good presentation though.
