Anyone use Deks Olje?

Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

Anyone use Deks Olje?

Post by xroyal »

I used to use it on my exterior brightwork. After sanding, a couple of coats of the matte finish would last until the next coatings a few months later. Seemed to keep the sanding time down. Granted, it's thin, and application a tad touchy. I know it's not a purist material, but I'm not a big fan of sanding/losing the wood to same.

Tried it once. Seemed to eat Polysulfide or make it open up. Just my impression; never did any serious trial and error.[/img]
