    Default NC Lacquer vs. Oil

    As I mentioned on other posts I am doing a small hall table in Jarrah/Silver ash and I was going to finish it with NC Lacquer however I have read many posts mentioning Danish Oil or Organoil for this sort of work.

    I am fairly familiar with NC Lacquer and living 3 blocks from the factory I can get it at a reasonable price.

    I like NCL because it is quite easy to apply, very forgiving and dries very fast however I am ready to change method if there is something more suited.

    Could someone familiar with both methods do a quick comparative of +- of each ?

    Thanks

    All the fors and againsts arn't really going to help. Go get some of the oil and give it a try, onbviously on some scrap first though and see if you like the results.
    Personally I dislike oil finish's but they have they're place,

    G'day ....USE THE NITRO !!,danish oil has a polyurethane base and unless you are familliar with its application you WILL STUFF IT UP( looks a bit average too) organ oil is OK BUT it will need about 20 coats and a long drying time before a light buff with old wet and dry paper to give it a nice lustre,try a coat of sanding sealer + 1 top coat .let it dry 24hrs then use a beeswax finish and a bit of elbow grease, MIX HARD BEESWAX WITH PURE GUM TURPENTINE TO A PASTE, APPLY WITH CLOTH >THEN BUFF AFER 15MINS .....TRUST ME I'M A FRENCH POLISHER !!....CHEERS ADRIAN.

    Don't worry Adrian, it is still useful info and you french polishers have a lot of skills to share with the rest of us!

    Why not create a new thread and give us an outline of your favorite finishing techniques... it would be very much appreciated.

    Cheers,
