Reaching across a stove top with burners on is nuts anyway. Would not
happen in my house. I value my (and mywife's) skin too much to risk such a
thing. But don't let me stop you.

I'd use a polyurethane and let it cure for a week or so before subjecting it
to the heat and vapor

OK, but can you just wipe on another coat when the original finish gets
screwed up? Or do you have to remove the old finish first? What I've
read is that of all the film finishes only shellac can be recoated as is.

That's a valid concern. I think the assumption here is that the
varnish is plenty tough enough and it will hold up for a long time.

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

I don't think you would get the same protection from Watco. Watco is
mostly thinner with some linseed oil, resins and metallic dryers. I
don't think it qualifies as "long oil". And I've seen cases where
Watco was used and the wood easily stained with water rings.

For most varnishes, except polyurinestain, that's true. Do a quick
scuff to give it tooth, dewax it with mineral spirits (taking no
chances that it got a squirt of Pledge), then rub on another coat.

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.

If Watco stained with water rings, it was from too few coats. It's
not as sturdy, as you state, though. Other products are better.

Reaching across a stove top with burners on is nuts anyway. Would not
happen in my house. I value my (and mywife's) skin too much to risk such
a thing. But don't let me stop you.

The burner controls are back there anyway, what is the big deal, by your
logic I could never turn them off.

The shelf will be above them. Anyone worried about the chance for a
burn from this is either a lawyer from California or totally paranoid.

No kidding, wonder how the cave men survived? Oh thats right they didn't.
Doubt it was because they were burned while grabbing the salt to season

I use gas where the burners are sensibly up front. I'm neither a lawyer or
totally paranoid, but I've known of accidents from reaching over hot pots
and splattering grease. Of course, storing condiments in one of the
hottest spots in the kitchen is probably not the best idea either. Doubt
it will affect salt, but if the balsamic vinegar is good stuff, you'd not
have it in the light anyway. Cheap stuff makes little difference.

Nope, it was from trying to collect sabretooth urine for marinade that
killed them.

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.

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.

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...

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