 Roger has good suggestions: Do we need air tanks and re-breathers?

Oil finishes have their downsides. That is why Southerner Wells products are very expensive. They cook the tongue oil so that it cures and can be re-coated in a couple of hours vs. days. They also add lemon oil to mask the smell. The upside is oil finishes are beautiful.

Quote from: Roger & Susan in Home2 –
Last time through NAC I got son ZEP Wood Doctor.  As a woodworker I was not as pleased with the results as most seem to be.  It looks nice for awhile but then the wood in our coach takes on a dull dry look, probably from the solvents in it.

Four years ago I bought this stuff.  Put it on (very light coat) with a rag.  Let it sit for 20 min or so and then wipe it off with a dry  rag. I have almost half of it left and the entire inside of the coach gets done every month or two.  The resulting wood color and luster is what I want.  And it is way cheaper than WoodDoc which you can't just spray on anyway.

Amazon.com: Howard FW0016 Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, 16-Ounce:...

It is just like your coach, there are no shortcuts to keeping it looking great.
I took Roger's advice (which is always a good idea) and bought Feed N Wax and like it MUCH better than the ZEP product.

I too took Roger's advice and recently got some Howard Feed and Wax.  We have an old oak ice box that we turned into a liquor cabinet back about 1970.  My wife refinished it (the only time she ever did any refinishing) and I remember her using bees wax on it.
It still looks as good as it did back then, so when I saw Roger's recommendation it got my attention.

I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it's what my cabinets need.

Thanks Roger!
