Timbachem Jarrah Colorguard Plus?

[docwood]

I just purchased a set of jarrah patio furniture for SWMBO. Made by Jensen Jarrah, WA, very nice workmanship and price. Now that I have some jarrah I feel more like one of the guys around here. It came with a Liter tin of "Jarrah Colorguard Plus" made by Timbachem and simply reads, water based, oil finish with pigments to reisist UV damage. They recomend yearly applications. I tried their site to see what exactly is in this, I would like to find a local equivalent, they want $30 US a liter tin.

Thanks,

Rob

you might try asking them , having said that , not too many companys are gonna give their recipes away !Gotta admit though - water based and oil finish is not something I've heard of in the one sentence .:eek:

I'd love to hear the explanation they give for the water based oil finish when you get it from them!!!

Well, after finally finding their website, colourguard.com.au, they have told me that the product I have is the same as their jarrah oil and that I should follow their MSDS posted for that product. This MSDS mentions proper disposal to prevent spontaneous combustion but the directions on the can I have only mention the need to clean up with water. Seems to me they should upgrade the cans directions.

PS I'll be able to give you a review of the product soon as the color is already starting to fade and SWMBO has asked me to apply a new coat.
