Applied 4 coats to my birch butcher block countertops. Waiting 24 hours between coats is kind of a pain in the butt, but the results were worth it. My counter is totally waterproof and it looks awesome. Resin modified ting oil semi gloss is what I used. I will use again.

Worked great for sealing our new butcher block counters. Easy to apply and arrived quickly.

I used this to finish a butcher block counter top in my laundry room. This was my first time tackling such a project and I’m impressed! I followed the directions on the manufacturer’s website and it came out great. Even my contractor who installed the countertop was impressed!

Bought both the sealer/primer and the satin coat finish Waterlox. Probably the best products for a beautiful durable finish. Used on live edge countertops and I'm amazed at the outcome. Only drawback is the price $200+ for both items. Recommended for fine woodwork.

I've used waterlox for tables (the round table pictured), teak butcher block counters (pictured), wood handles (pictured) on kitchen tools. It is my absolute favorite for how well it protects the wood. The only time I've opted for something else is for a white wood table that i didn't want to yellow at all. I found a water based product for that table. I am a huge fan of waterlox and recommend it for everything that doesn't have to stay white. If slight warming of the wood tone is ok, use this!

I dont know if its because they don't stock this item in canada or what, but even with prime you will have to pay shipping fees no matter what option you pick for shipping. That on top of the price already being high is why I'm only giving 4 stars.It did work amazing though and I'm really glad with how turned out on my counter tops!

During a remodel we selected hardwood butcherblock countertops. We used the Waterlox Sealer/finishing product to seal the top. It provided a beautiful finish that beads up any liquid. I'm very happy with the end results.

IF you apply it decently, it is easy to apply to obtain a great look. I've used such "tung" oils for many years. I even did a waterlox finish on my new hardwood floors years back, (I wouldn't do it again as unless your floors are absolutely flat, then it can puddle). It has held up admirably well on the floors.Yes, it is not a nice smell, because of the petroleum distillates. But if you can apply in a place where the smell won't bother you for a few days, it is fine. (dispose of rags carefully).Sand to 180 or so. Apply the finish liberally! keep it refreshed and wet for 15 minutes or so, then wipe off moat of the finish. You don't want to let it dry completely with wet spots on it. This first coat will saturate pretty deeply. Apply additional coats, and you dont have to let it absorb so deeply. The 2nd, 3rd and even 4th coat doesn't change much. But on the 5th coat, you start to get a really deep finish. The 5th or 6th coat, apply the finish with something like a 500 or so grit paper, sanding it basically while wet. When you have sanded it this way, then wipe off the wet. Now you should have a professional looking finish! Is it waterproof? No, it is not, but it IS actually more durable than many other finishes, even to water. It is for interior work though. Shellac for instance is another beautiful finish, and is also easily renovated. But Shellac is not good if any alcohol (as in a drink) is spilled on it.
