    You can still get it by mail order I think. Jim Carroll or the Woodsmith. Up your way Woodworks might stock it or Trend.

    Just to add to my comments above: in none of these cases was wet-sanding involved. For someone doing kitchen benches or coffee tables this is worth looking into, for grain filling and getting a nice silky feel - but I speak only from a temp period of wet sanding turnings and then only with Hard Burnishing Oil.

    Heres a link to the table I made many years ago, has held out well and still looks like it was treated yesterday.

    Just an afterthought .... Rustins is designed as a low-sheen finish. You can lift it a bit by buffing after it dries, and I'd guess that if you wet-sanded the first coat you might get a higher sheen as well.

    So if you like a glossy finish look at something else. I use the FW Scandinavian on turnings when I do but there are other oil products discussed extensively too on this sub-forum.

    From memory there are instructions on the use of Rustins on Jim Carroll's website.
    Cheers, Ern

    Thanks for the supplier details - I'm due an excursion to Trend in the next few weeks, so I'll see if they have any.

    The low sheen finish is exactly what I am after, having found some other brands of DO (like FW) too glossy for my liking. I gather that the Rustins is a fairly thin product as well, i.e. it penetrates well into the timber, and it is easy to remove the excess without leaving streaks. Exactly what you would expect for a predominantly tung oil mix.

    Does anyone have any experience with the Wattyl Professional Scandinavian Teak Oil at all, and how the finish on it is compared to other brands?
