• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Axminster suggests that a finish can be applied to their Valchromat top. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what finish to use.
Thank you,
Russell
 
I’ve used danish oil on the valcromat i have made my router table and pilar drill tables out of. It soaks up quite a lot with the first coat, but seems to provide a reasonable finish.
 
I’d agree with weekend woodworker with regard to using an oil finish, I’d thin the first coat to give better absorption. I’ve an MFT top to do & I have some old Osmo that’s going to get used up on it.
 
Thank you for the replies. I have used Danish Oil as suggested and you are correct,it is very thirsty.
