Tried & True is a pretty unique product. Applied correctly, it is
reasonably tough stuff and easy to replenish.


I've tried honey (t&t) before and it was OK, but I much prefer Waterlox.
It's much easier to rub on and I feel that it's a tougher product.


T&T have 3 different products. Not sure which one you're referring to.
I meant the oil/varnish mix. Sounds like you may have mean the oil/
beeswax mix.


No, the 'good stuff', the varnish oil. It's thick, thick, thick, like
honey which is starting to crystallize! I wonder if that can is still
usable...


I got started using T&T on bowls and such because it's non-toxic. It
worked so well I started using it elsewhere. But shellac is still my
favorite finish.


Waterlox Original in Satin is mine, bar none. A definite step up from
Watco, especially in odor.
