I really doubt it. I have used poly for several years. Smells and behaves
nothing like polyurethane.

Says right on the can Tung oil/urethane mix.

Well I hate to break it to you, but Seal-A-Cell and Arm-R-Seal are
basically
just poly. They're certainly a very short oil finish, and probably don't
contain any tung oil at all. "Tung oil" is kind of a catch phrase for
alot
of things these days.

Having lost mt patience with polyurethane I decided to try something new.
I
made a mission bed for my son and I decided to go with a Tung
oil/urethane
mixture (General Finishes, Sealacell). How many coats should I apply?
The
directions on the can are a little sketchy.


Part of the allure of GF stuff for me, is the wipe on aspect. But
that means, lots of coats. Thin coats. 4 or 5 or 6 if you really
want a nice rich look. But it goes on fast, dries fast. I liked it
enough to buy a second can. I haven't bought a 2nd can of any one
finsih product in a long time. I like this stuff.
