    Default Finishing wooden kitchen benches

    Would love to hear any suggestions to finish off a laminated solid oak benchtop. Would like to oil it, we have tried the Ikea Behandla on test patch and am finding it tacky to touch so am veering away from it. Any suggestions??

    Used "feast watson china wood oil" on our tallow wood bench top 18 months ago and it is going well. Trialed an area for 6 months, on a bench in the shed - poured boiling water over it, engine oil, harsh cleaning products and any other nasty I could find, before committing. Wife sits the cast iron frypan and saucepans on it with no ill effects. She did steam it badly once, but next day the area affected had dissapeared.

    love the testing you have done, we are inspired and doing some similar testing as the main problem is we are not sure if we oil it how if we can use silicon/acrylic latex to seal the splashback to it so we are acrylic latex testing this weekend - as well as redwine, beetwroot, coffee, etc etc
