I've been using an oil/sealant I found online called Teaqua for the past 5
years. It lasts all season without touching up, I'm still looking pretty good
from last year's June coat so I might skip it this year. It's easy to apply,and
clean up, dries to touch quickly, and then I just forget about it. While I
don't have that Cetol color or shine, I do like how it feels and the look works
for me for the time I put into it. I'll post a photo if I can figure out how, I
tend to be more a lurker these days.
I did try it on a spot inside, but didn't care for it. I do like the look of
that Formsby Tung Oil, Does it feel....dry?
