Waterlox Coatings Corp. - High Gloss Finish
Waterlox Original High Gloss Finish dries in about three hours to a fairly dark, semigloss finish.
Aug 01, 2005
The author tested 15 wipe-on finishes, including a water-based finish and both tung-oil and linseed-oil-based finishes. Pure boiled linseed oil and Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane, a brushing finish, were added for comparison. All the finishes were tested on pieces of red-oak plywood cut from the same sheet. Waterlox Original High Gloss Finish dried in three hours to a fairly dark, semigloss finish with excellent water resistance. This product was a close second to the author’s favorite, Minwax Wipe-On Poly, but at $22.99 a quart, considerably more expensive.
