Question 1

I am planning on using this on a wood surface counter I am making for the in-law kitchen.  Would this water proof the wood as well? Im putting a sink.

Accepted Answer

Yes it will waterproof very well indeed! I have a cutting board that my husband made me 3 years ago, I keep my knives butcher sharp and use my cutting board almost every day.  I wish I could send a picture of how well it has stood up to my knives and washing it with warm water and mild soap every time! There are barely any marks on it, in fact it dulls my knives. I also made an umbrella stand from hardwood and finished with Butcher Block.  We live in rainy Germany and there's not one water stain on it! I couldn't say enough about this product! You won't be sorry for using it. I would put at least 2 maybe even 3 coats on it if it's a counter top. It goes a long way because it isn't real thick, so I use thin coats but a couple should do you. Good luck!

Question 2

Looking for a watco butcher block finish that is a satin finish. which product will give me that?

Accepted Answer

This is not the product you want. It gives a high gloss finish,  almost like glass. You might try a mixture of 3 parts mineral oil to 1 part bees wax, this will give you a nice satin finish,  protect from water and is also food safe.

Question 3

Question 4

I sanded butcher block, wiped on evenly and finish keeps coming out blotchy even after light sanding  What else can I do?,

Accepted Answer

Just a heads up.  The longer Watco butcher block oil is exposed to air, while in the can, the thicker it will become.  If the thicker product is then applied to a board, it will loose some of it's penetrating capabilities and will get tacky sooner. You may have also purchased something that's been on the shelf a while.  Typically, it's very thin when fresh.That said, I always wipe off the excess within a minute or two, sometimes this will take some extra effort as it does become tacky. Stay vigilant with the removal of the excess oil as it will help eliminate those blotchy spots, so wipe it down well.  FYI, some woods may tend to show some slight spottiness with Watco's despite the best vigilance on your part.
