[TheForge] Cheap clear finish question

[Chris Worsley]

Hi Bob,
I used Watco oil a few times years ago and found that it turned gummy on the piece after time. I applied it to work that was warm enough to make it flow
easily into all crevices, and buffed when cool and "dry". Since then I have used the beeswax/boiled linseed oil/terps mix and found it better. (indoor work
only)
