We replaced our large desk with a "white" cedar desk a few years ago and
put
a clear Penofin treatment on it. It peeled off in about a year and I had
the supplier's rep take a look at it. His findings "just the way it is".


I've used Penofin for years. There is nothing to peel off. It is an oil
that soaks into the wood. You must have put many coats to build up to
anything peelable.
