General Finishes, Wood Bowl Finish
I'd like to try this but it doesn't sell in Australia and is big money to get shipped.
Would we have the exact same finish just by a different name?
Anybody used it?

Looking at this: Wood Bowl Finish | General Finishes I would get a small quantity of Urethane finish, mix half & half with straight Tung Oil and try.
I just use Tung Oil on everything, applied with a cloth while bowl or vase is turning on the lathe. If the finish is building too thick or cloth is dragging, dampen with mineral spirits. I have also used leftover Urethane floor finish the same way.
I like a satin finish, but on a hardwood vase I kept adding coats of rubbed on Tung Oil until it was glossy.So much timber, so little time.

I haven't used it myself and can't answer your question, but looking at the SDS I'm wondering why you'd want to try it?
Curiosity? A recommendation? Is there something unusual about it?
The SDS & TDS suggest otherwise but people tend to use things in 'unusual' ways, often with unexpected results.

I agree with Skew's comments. There are equivelant products in Oz. Whenever there is oil and urethane we are talking about products similar to Danish Oil. UBeaut's Aussie Oil is in the same stable but a little different again. Miniwax's Antique Oil is another. All of them I have used and they are great finishes. The only problem with the Aussie oil is it is designed for smaller pieces but this is old information and I'm not sure if Neil still suggests this. So, don't bother with the General Finishes product.

i've seen it used and looks very simple and comes up with a nice glossy deep finish with little effort. Looks ideal for larger bowls.
