Visiting a public toilet- very funny (long)
Comments (2)Excellent!! I had to use a public bathroom today at JC Penney's...it was so clean I almost expected to see an attendant on duty offering to spray me with perfume!...we had a long drawn out conversation at work Friday night about people who can NOT use a bathroom in public...I'll now have this story in my mind everytime I watch someone go into the bathroom on the plane...maybe I should tell them about putting their purse around their neck..what a way to start up a conversation with someone!!...See Morewoo hoo!!
Comments (5)Well, you lucky "dawg", you! LOL Get this, I have an old porcelain urinal out in my shop. Would have to have it plumbed to use it in a bathroom but I just had to have it! LOL Now, that's bad when you crave "heirloom" bathroom fixtures! LOL...See MoreOil & Wax Finish: need help on the wax part!
Comments (16)Hi Kathrine. It seems like you are well on your way to a solution already, but I would like to clear some of the fog. First, I would like to address oil and wax finishes. Although they do produce a decent finish, they take forever to cure, they will need to be renewed eventually, and they offer little to no protection (when compared to a film finish). In a kitchen, durability is usually the big concern and pure tung oil simply doesnt have a place there. Now if you have a nice antique hall table that you dont mind babying, tung oil and wax could be a good choice. But with the amazing array of beautiful finish options available today, its hard to believe tung oil (and boiled linseed oil), still find their way into our homes. That being said, I am glad you went with the Waterlox. Despite the incorrect information Minwax gave you, Waterlox is not all that different from a wiping polyurethane. Waterlox actually contains little to no tung oil at all. It does, however, contain a resin that is derived from oil and is a close relative to polyurethane. Many woodworkers like this particular resin better because it is less "plastic-looking" than standard polyurethane. So what you have actually done is exactly what I would have recommended: you top-coated your tung oiled surface with a wiping varnish. This varnish will give your cabinets the protection they need from oil, grease, heat, water, and cleaning agents. A level of protection that tung oil cannot provide. And one note to the folks who were discussing "food-safe" finishes. Nearly all film finishes are food safe once cured. If you are a bit skeptical, there are FDA-approved varnishes available (usually labelled salad bowl finish), that will offer much more protection and durability than oil and wax. I apologize for the blitz of information. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask away. Marc...See Moresays it all for us 'ladies' (funny & long)
