Gil - tung oil  spun into the  surface and   polished  is  wonderful!
 
I  made  some replicas  of Bell's  early telephone  butter stamp style 
receivers  one  time on the  wood lathe and  that is  the  way I applied  finish 
to them  also. I  have  the  variable speed  Rockwell  so I just lean on 
the  lever and  speed 'er up  and apply the  finish!
 
on the   laser and  toner  printing  sticking...   in reality any  type of  
plastic   document protector this can happen to  also...   the toner is  
heat setting    and if  it  gets  warm....   ecch  it is  stuck  to the clear  
surface....

Chemical reactions don't even take that long sometimes.  I had a  vinyl 
placemat on my nightstand for just a couple of years (dusting around it  and 
never moving it;  yeah, that's lazy).  It reacted with the  varnish and the 
imprint is still there.  I learned that day how nasty  vinyl can be, and then 
recalled how laser printed sheets would transfer to the  inside of vinyl 
binders.  A plastic to be used carefully.  A nice  cherry nightstand top needs 
refinishing now.


Speaking of wood finishing, and vastly off-topic, my 12-yo son wanted to  
make a Harry Potter wand for his kinect game, so we spent a fun afternoon  
turning one down on the lathe.  We used tung oil to finish, and after 5  coats 
(with steel-wool polishing after each), it is as smooth a a baby's  behind. 
Great stuff that tung oil.
