Have to admit I only tried the finish a few days ago as I'd forgotten about it until I found it whilst sorting out the workshop

I found it easy to apply with just a couple of drops going a long way, also the liquid is quite thick & seemed to fill the pours on the open grained wood I was turning though I did give it more than the stated 2 coats.
I would use it again particularly on items that didn't need a gloss finish, I'm thinking of making a light pull & finishing it with the D&M to see how it bears up to frequent use in the humid air of the bathroom.

Thanks Walter for letting me try it & apologies for the slow response but turning has taken a back seat for the last couple of months since we met.
