Is this the same as Durakryl 102? My kitchen table's durakryl is wearing away to bare wood.

It is not. I recently had butcher block countertops installed in my kitchen. They were covered with Durakryl 102 as well. The manufacture recommended Good Stuff to use for maintenance. I had really good luck with this product on areas that were sanded during installation. Follow the instructions and don't let the product sit too long or it will leave swirls. I found that out the hard way.

Emmet's has worked well on refinishing wood projects but to be honest I have no idea what Durakryl 102d is. Ennet's Good stuff works.Old Nick

I don't know about Durakryl, but Emmet's works great on my countertops. However, all finishes will require reapplication in high use/high traffic areas.

No. I think durakryl is more of a liquid. Emmett's is more like an ointment. You would not need much to add a layer of this stuff on a project. But several coats. I'm not totally familiar with all finishes but I hope that helps.

The product is odorless, or at least I didn't detect any odor. It worked beautifully on my antique oak table. Re-apply 2nd or 3rd treatment if the wood is very dry as mine was. It's a great product!

Check the MSDS - it says this has 85% to 90% ethanol. Wabe is incorrect; NOT all denatured alcohols are the same nor are there any standards (see http://www.shellac.net/alcohol.html). Since I'm interested in a shellac solvent, I checked other brands MSDS's: Regular Klean Strip 42.5% to 46.5% CSD/Startex 65% to 75% Crown 70% to 75% Behkol (sold as a shellac solvent for woodworkers) 70% to 100%

Actually, it is like a peanut butter consistency. The best idea is to use it around base boards behind your refrigerator etc. a lot of people have had good results putting dots of this on index cards instead of actually on the wood in cabinets etc.

The new formula is not durable, there are much better stains available:http://www.deckstainhelp.com/timberoil-brand-stain-review/

I just went and felt the tape I put on my basement stairs (a couple years ago now). It's like there are little granules/grit sprinkled throughout, but they're beneath a sort of coating of soft polymer. (I've noted before how it doesn't even feel uncomfortable to bare feet as you go quickly down the stairs, and I guess that's why.) I have wood floors myself, and I'd be comfortable trying what you said, though I'd make a note to check after 6 months or so to see if that coating wears off and exposes the granules/grit, which then might be abrasive to the floors. You're putting a lot of concentrated weight on the bottom rails of a rocking chair, so it might wear off faster than just people walking down stairs.

I am not an expert, but I think the resin table will last much longer than any wood table and there won't be any risk of splinters. I am very pleased with these tables.

The can of Trewax Mahogany Paste Wax that I received for Fathers' Day has not been opened. But it sounds and feels like the older can when both are shaken. My older can was ordered from Amazon around February, 2013, and seemed a bit dried out, but has been used without problems. For furniture needing a "deeper" cleaning and waxing, I use Howard Restore-a-Finish (Mahogany) followed by Howard Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner.

If they are "rough" it sounds like you have material missing. This won't fix that. If they are just dry and or shrunk it will help if any product will. But if they are crumbling, it's too late for anything but replacement. This is a water based product versus silicon based so it isn't slimy and shiny. It will leave a more natural appearance. There are many products like this, but this one has a long and highly regarded history if you are looking for a natural not shiny finish.

I think it is the same product, as Michigan Maple Block Co is on the lower right hand side of the label. I have used this on a butcher block countertop that was sanded down to bare wood, and it's held up really well for the past 4 months. Hope this helps!

I have not used it on antique furniture but the compound has wood fibers in it which should take a water-based wood dye in order to make it blend with the original finish. On antique furniture I either replace the wood in kind or use burn-in stick shellac to fill small holes and cracks. This is a wonderful product and performs as advertised. I used it to restore fretwork on an 1892 Queen Ann house with excellent results. Of course I painted over the repairs which now cannot be seen. For painted antique furniture this would be excellent. By the way, it's final color when hardened is a light tan.

I finished a table I built two years ago, fished with Danish oil then used arm r seal satin. It looks great after two years. It isn't shiny at all but very durable. Use at least three coats ( I did 7 ) with very light wet sanding with 600 grit after the 2 nd coat and between each successive coat. I used a staining pad to apply and it was one of the easiest finishes I've ever used

I purchased this cream as a substitute for acid mantel cream, which I have used for years and love. This was close, but didn't work quite as well. Almost the same texture, but not the same great results. It is the closest cream to acid mantel that I have found. I would like to know why acid mantel cream isn't sold anymore?

We use windex. Table is susceptible to hot plates. windex eventually nullifies. For the price, it's perfect.

I've had mine since last summer so I'm not sure how long it will last. I bought the cedar because I don't want the pretreated chemicals. They sell some that aren't cedar and are pretreated if that's what you want

I have wood floors that were damaged by my 10 year old dragging a chair back and forth over the same area many, many times.. the floors were actually almost white where the scratches were... I wiped this stuff over the area, and the worn areas were gone! It was a bit shiny for a day... and now a month later.. no scratches.. and no obvious marks around where the Restor-A-Finish was used.

I never use furniture polish on the Rafferty Table, Jane. Sometimes I may use a very slighly damp tee shirt type rag. I have these table a little over a year, and found that this works well.
