I order bulk disposable syringes for measuring out small amounts of finishes. Makes it easy to be precise and no mess.

Just purchased a general finishes hard wax oil and hardener from rockler, excited to try it on my 8 drawer rustic hickory dresser project

Thanks for posting. I’m curious to see how the durability and water/stain resistance of the gf compares to the rubio. Other new products to compare are rustic lumber and Black Forest finishes hard wax oil.

Great video and really appreciate you taking the time to do this and share it with us enthusiasts. I am curious if a product like GF would work with a ceruse finish? I see GF has a satin finishing wax, could this be used as a top coat for shine and protection?

[zackmccormick]

Does the hardener come with the GF product? Because together the price is over $60.

Hi! If i wish to stain the wood prior to applying the hardwax oil, what stains would you reccomend? I tried already the oil minwax stain ones but because boeth products are dilluted in mineral spirits, the stain ends up getting dragged away a bit when I eub the hardwax oil.

Thanks for your input!

I just have such a hard time using anything other than a hard precat lacquer like the Mohawk brand. It’s the most durable finish I’ve ever used and can take an absolute beating.

Just used Rubio and I totally dig it on Mr walnut drafting table. Only problem is that it is totally matte. I will receive the maintenance oil in a couple of days. Will let y’all know.

I just refinished a mid-century walnut veneer dresser - first timer. I went back and forth on what finishing product to use and settled on General Finishes. I just applied it yesterday and it looks great. My question is... Do I need to apply a second coat? I can't tell if it needs one and Googling that was unclear. And if so, do I need to use a gray pad beforehand? Looking for some advice. Thanks!

wasn't a fan of rubio, found it to require two coats just like any other hard wax oil, and so expensive. So far my favorite finish has been tried and true. Looks great, very durable and very affordable. Honourable mentions to osmo aswell. the genral finishes looks interesting tho, I havent tried their products, but have heard great things.

Looked at the GF at Woodcraft and it's not cheaper than Rubio. It's $46 for the can, then another $19 for the Hardener. That's $65 compared to Rubio's $60.

Repairs are not that simple as the oil oxidizes over time, yellowing in colour.
