Osmo 3032 clear satin, hardwax/oil combo I think is what it is? Over a tung oil mix on oak block worktop. Had it about 5 years and the stuff we used to use (Unika something) can't be easily got anymore, and TBH it was a bit shiney, close to varnish in finish and quite yellow.
Stripped that off, gone through the grits and wire wool, had a few weeks of tung oil applications (takes days to dry even vaguely well), and colour and feel is amazing, feels like a grain filler has been used.
But this tung mix isn't very protective against water, if you leave any on it, it soaks in within minutes.
Coating of Osmo 3032 polyX over the top the solution? Figured I might have to leave it a few weeks or more until the tung mix is set enough so that it doesn't mix or go weird. Anyone any experience?
