So pleased to see CB testers found Endeavour Marine Wood Oil to be the same as I found the hard, expensive way.
Stupidly I bought two large cans of preparation and finishing oil, totally taken in by the advert. Followed the directions to the letter on a mahogany hatch cover to obtain what was a beautiful glowing sheen finish. The result lasted approx four weeks on the boat before appearing dry and greyed. "Clothed in" (their term!) more finishing oil, which restored the finish, but it dried out, greyed and allowed the surface wood to crack in another two to three weeks sailing!
Rubbed it down and used Burgess Hydrosol. A good matt/sheen finish which has overwintered well and looks as good as when it was put on.
I know what I will be using for the rest of the wearing surfaces. Ever been had?
