Could be the next best thing since...

Hey Sailors!

Ran across a new product by Cabot's at my local hardware store the other day. It's called Australian Tung Oil. It seals exotic woods, is transparent or natural w/ 4 different color choices, actually has what it's made of listed on the can (basically a linseed oil w/dryers), and costs $16.00 a quart!!! Not $26.00-$120.00.

So a bought a sample (which actually went a long way) for $5.00. I used it on my mahogany but, only wanted to experiment so I SEMCOed my teak. Now that I see the results, I kinda wish I would've tried it on my rails!!

I don't know how it's gonna look at the end of the season but, am willing to bet that I will not be disappointed.

Anyone tried it yet?
Feedback please.
