can this be used on unfinished wood surfaces?

This is not recommended for rough surfaces. You would want to at least paint a coat of primer and give it 2 weeks to cure.

No, I would not! It works perfectly on smooth, unfinished furniture - even unpainted but I would not recommend it for reclaimed would and certainly not crevices or chips in the wood. I have no idea what to use except for a good power sander and work down from several grades of sandpaper until it is more manageable.

The wood is unfinished and untreated. I would recommend sealing the wood with marine varnish or deck sealer before using outdoors.

I tried it on finished bathroom woodwork and it did not seem to work. It did not seem to affect the finish of the woodwork though. I suggest experimenting more on finished woodwork.

This is a great produce but I think you have to use it on unfinished furniture or fuiriture that has been stripped. I am not sure it will work well over an existing finish such as shellac or varnish or polyurethane.

No! Absolutely not! You should never place anything wet on a wooden surface, finished or unfinished. Use a coaster.

I used this product on new wood with no sealant. I would contact the company direct to see if can be used on treated wood.

No, it soaks into the wood and gives the wood a healthy natural finish. Extremely important for unfinished woods. For a high gloss finish, seal the wood and then apply a high gloss finish.

I think the answer is, it depends. I use it to lightly coat my cast-iron woodworking surfaces to keep the rust away in the humidity of Houston. However you can apply this as a finishing coat to wood surfaces if you want that kind of antique finish look. It would be best to read the following article and make the decision for yourself. The small amount that goes onto metal wood working surfaces is not enough to mess up any staining you may do as a finishing touch as you most likely will lightly sand the surface and remove any of the wax that may have come off the metal surface onto the unfinished wood (i do this all the time and never had a problem staining after using my tools). http://woodworking.about.com/od/finishing/p/PasteWaxWoodFinish.htm

My experience has only been with cabinets with a laminate finish...I would not think using it on unfinished wood would be a good idea however...it is strong.

Not sure what a Swedish finish is. You can't use it on unsealed, worn or oiled wood floors. The manufacturer says it's safe for any other hardwood. I've only used the product on tile.

No, I'm afraid not. It's plastic, and isn't really shaped right for that. Sadly it doesn't work at all on wood either. Cheers

I have never tried to use this tape on wood, but I think it can work as well. And it does not work on rubber surface.

I would imagine yes. It did a great job on natural wood which is much softer and more absorbent. I would experiment to see just how long you need to leave it before it softens the shine coat.

Yes --you could but it has a very high sheen -glass like in a short period of time it would show scratches pretty bad. There is epoxy table top finishes that are a two part system that have a lot hard and more durable finish for long term. I hope this helps --I have worked with wood finishes for many years and this information has come from experiences some pain staking.

There is no finish on the wood. If I were to use this in a moist environment, I would treat it first.

I am not sure about that but I can tell you that I used it on wood surface and worked perfectly.
