    Yeah, know what you mean
    Once the mill get their kiln back up and running it will be great
    Choice Timbers in Kilstyh do kiln drying as well
    They have quite a big set up there, it miight pay to get some prices from them as well

    Default Thanks Martrix

    Really appriciate the leg up on this product. I really love the love of the oil finishes but I didn't sit right on this job. I have a small Red Gum Square slab I might use that to play with Oi;l rather than a hole bloody Kitchen.



    Cheers

    I'll check them out next time. Tim did give me the heads up about the other bloke but I had no choice. Go to say, if your willing to wait and then wait alittle more he is really I good bloke and not too expensive.


    Cheers

    Just a point here jason.

    dont forget to finish the underside of the slab too. this should minimise its tendancy to warp.

    I've seen a couple of clasic examples of this.

    big slab bench warped...... Hmmmm...... no finish on the bottom.

    cheers

    Thanks Soundman,

    Should I just use the same product as the top?

    Yes, all round, and pay attention to the end grain.
    NC could be an option too (when it warms up a bit), very durable finish for a kitchen and a few coats can go on in a short space of time.
    Gembrook could be a bit of a problem at the moment though with the dampness as this can cause a few problems when spraying, unless you have a nice warm, dry shed.

    same product same number of coats, you dont need to be quite as fussy with the sanding but rough one side & smoothe the other isn't a good idea.

    Jason - I didn't reply further because of www.ubeaut.biz however I felt a warning against what you intended to do was appropriate.

    Polyurethane, epoxy, nitrocellulose or maybe Hard Shellac, any should be much better in the long term an oil. A good ROS is a really good investment.

    Once again I really have nothing more to say on this one.

    Cheers - Neil
