Can this be used on bare wood instead of a varnish? Would it be water proof? No water rings if someone puts a cup on it?

I don't know. I used it on my quarry tile cellar floor and am very happy with it. After using the wax, I used another liquid wax I bought at the local supermarket to give it a higher gloss. I must say that we had our wood floors sanded and polyurethaned and were very happy with that.

Even though it says "clear" the wax will be white if it isn't buffed out. I use this to seal my bronze & stone sculptures and the wax tends to collect in small crevices, making it hard to buff out. As bare wood is inherently full of open pores I would suggest an inconspicuous test first so your surface isn't ruined.

No it is not waterproof, I had hoped so and finished my walnut table with it. I now has rings from where the kids sat stuff...

This is not a substitute for varnish,lacquer, or polyurethane. It is a good sacrificial layer on top of them.

Stain Proof?? This is a solid WOOD table and any kind of "moisture" on wood is going to leave a ring or worse. So NO...if that's what you're asking, it's NOT 'STAIN PROOF'.

definitely not waterproof... Its very cheaply painted/stained wood. I wouldn't waste your money. I ended up giving mine away, and just putting my water crock on my nightstand, as it was more stable and nicer looking.

It probably wouldn't hurt to use a wood sealant, even if using the rings indoors, as the wood will start to absorb dirt/oils from your hands. A normal wood sealer should work.

All depends on the porousness of the wooden top. For example it does well on my computer desktop, but after about an hour it will loosen. If it's a perspex type finish it will stick with no problem, if its a very porous finish then it wont grip for long. The idea below of spaying on water first would be a good solution to block any air gaps with the water, but it is a very cool product for what it is and I would recommend you purchase and try. It's not heavy, but is very rigid and easy to use. If you where going to use it regularly in the same place, you could consider purchasing a very thin piece of plastic (like a tile shape) and sticking it on to the wood first, then sticking the vise to the tile. Well worth buying and trying.

I brushed mine with a food-grade oil rather than a stain to make it resist water at least for a while. This type of wood can also be left alone.

The wood is well-sealed. That said, I wouldn't leave anything wet on it for long because I think you'd get water rings.

Yes, ours sticks quite well without the use of water. If you wet the cups as suggested then it works even better. It however does not stick to grooves in your table - if you have them.

It would hold water for a little while but would NOT recommend for long term water works. It is wood and only lightly varnished. If you lightly sanded it and then completely covered it with three coats of polyurethane it might stand up to being used as a fountain but not as is.

I would suggest not using it then. It comes as a powder and you ad water to it. It feels like you are just putting water on the wood, but supposedly, it protects it and does allow it to turn gray naturally.On the website it says some forest service use it, so it must do something right. Google the product and you can talk to the maker, Maybe they can suggest a way to stabalize the wood before protecting it. I have talked to them before. Hope that helps.Randy

This is a thin liquid product. The item cannot be applied with a cotton ball or cloth. It must be submerged. For silverware a cream polish would work better.

This product is not the best choice due to the humidity and water that will be present in that area. You would be better off using a waterproof varnish (found at a hardware store) or the Liquitex Soluvar Varnish.

I used it on wood outside steps and it worked fine and looks good it helped to keep rainwater from seeping into the wood. Of course the steps are not continuously exposed to water as a boat would be, but for my purpose it worked fine.

My experience has been that the polish sinks into the wood and does not cause a buildup. It depends on the finish of the wood. If its been varnished or has a clear coat hardener I wouldn't use this product.

It should work fine if you want a clear glasslike finish on the whole wood surface. It is probably not the best use for it if you are just filling holes. It is also self-leveling. I used it to embed craft beer bottle lids on a tray and it turned out well.

Its waterproof dries very hard has no flexability strong bond on wood. ive used it to glue wood that is outside holds up good thats all I can tell you

I'm not sure if it can get wet since it is wood. I don't really like any wooden furniture to get wet since water will usually damage it, but it definitely works for a small space.
