I guess I'm confused. The Formby's I use says on the can that it is a varnish made from tung oil and other penetrating oils. That is what I read and it was recommended so I bought and used it. I did not understand it to be pure tung oil and who knows, pure tung oil may not be the right stuff to use. I figure Formby's knows more than I do about producing an effective finish.
I think it does an acceptable job of making a mat surface look shinier, feel smoother and bringing out some detail.
Yet we have one person contending that it contains absolutely no tung oil and another another talking about "bullpucky" and all couldn't be trusted as fact.
Maybe somebody could explain what all this is about and what it wrong with Formby's etc. If there is a better magic stuff to use, please educate me.
