Does this product dry out the wood or damage it in any way?

it does not. I used it to do my entire wood deck and it worked perfectly. No it did not dry out the wood.

I have never used the product on wood. It works great on concrete and vinyl. Check the directions or their web page if it will work on wood. This is a great product.

Haven't tired on wood. Used on vinyl siding and composite deck flooring and it works beautifully. As for wooden decks flooring or any wood product can't say. Check directions given on container to see if there are any warnings regarding wood. With the success I've had using the product I would have to see with a small area of spare wood product testing and then leave it in the sun for a few days to see if any indication of problems. Have used this product for several years and found it to be the best I've ever used for mold and other stains that have appeared on my decking and vinyl siding.

It says you can apply to wood, I'm guessing a deck. Can't comment from experience, as I only used it on brick and pavers.

Hello. Amazon asked me to answer your question. This product is used to seal the moisture in project wood and is used by folks who turn wood on a lathe. Fresh wood is cut and the end grain is sealed with this product to prevent checking or cracking. This sealer allows the wood to dry down to a moisture content around 7%. There is nearly 50% moisture content when green. Once the wood reaches a low moisture content, it is deemed to be stable.: - )

I was say it lightens the wood....it adds moisture to places where the wood is dry. I have used it on my light oak kitchen cabinets and my bedroom furniture which is darker.

Yes, if you are going to refinish anyway, this product won't harm the wood. Just lightly sand the surface, and this product will provide a temporary fix and protect the surface.

I would assume yes. Most wood products will warp and lose the intensity of their stain if water is allowed to absorb into it, it shouldn't be a problem to spill if you wipe it up but letting moisture sit long enough to start to get absorbed into the wood will damage it. If you keep it oiled with something like murphy's oil or pledge or something similar then water won't damage as long as you wipe it off.

I don't know because I've never treated dry rot. I've only treated cedar that over decades out doors had become porous. Once any loose debris was brushed off, I apply Minwax liberally to fill the structure and it restores the functionality. I don't think there was any fungus involved in my applications so I can't speak to whether it kills the fungus

No, there are always moisture on all parts. I use a bottle rake for drying.

By manufactures design no it will not be damaged if it were to run dry. (But I do not know how long it could run this way)

It depends how large our bathroom is. I would suspect that the moisture from the bathroom would adversely affect the wood eventually.

Better. I have been told by the person who installed our hardwood that getting your hardwood too wet is damaging. Bona is so simple with great results.

Yes. Even though the fret board isn't sealed, if used sparingly the wood will absorb the polish and prevent the surface from drying out.

NO! It will absorb into the wood, but it leaves a residue that will not soak in, and then all your wood does is collect dust, which eventually turns to grime. I know this from bitter personal experience.

David, you must ask the manufacture about chemical leaching. It is a water based product that drys clear and is easy to clean up and it protects the wood very well.

Stain penetrates. The product produces a grainy texture and will not penetrate the wood. I would not use it with stain.

The directions for the product does state; that it might not work on wood that has been damaged or too badly worn.

It all depends on how dry the wood is. I used mine in Portugal on very old, dry wood and it soaked it up like a sponge. The oil dries to a hard finish....it seems that you have to do several coats to fill the pores. Why be stingy, you're going to love the tung oil and want to put it on everything...so buy a bigger bottle.

Perhaps, but why? A water-based conditioner will raise the grain on the wood, meaning that you'll need to sand it again before staining. This product is not water based. If you have a different water-based product in mind, I would check the directions on the label. It will probably say. But for myself, I avoid them.
