Hi all, I spent a lot of time reading threads on Tru-Oil but the case for sealer and/or wax is still unclear to me.
Project: oil finish on Black Korina, no stain, no dye.
Aims: achieve a look and feel as close to raw wood as possible (on the raw wood - showroom continuum) while ensuring protection of the wood.
Question:
When using Tru-Oil, some (e.g. Stratamania) recommend to use Birchwood Casey's (BC) sealer before and its wax after. Others use only one of the other two products (BC or other manufacturers) or go for a Tru-Oil only approach. Can someone shed some light on the individual advantages/disadvantages of sealer, wax, sealer+wax and Tru-Oil-only respectively?
