So easy to apply! Beautiful colors and really brings out the best in the wood grain. No harsh smells after application. Smooth, matte surface. I absolutely recommend this brand!

Mike, Thank You!
I truly love the look of the finish. I used the pure 2C oil on a huge Claro Walnut slab table and was really stoked with it. BUT, the finish scratches very easily. For example, my kids play with their LEGOs on it and it get scratched. I wish there was a harder final coat finish that could go over the top of it. I don't know how it could work well on floors.

Fred, Please feel free to contact us at your convenience to discuss how the table was prepared. Generally, The Monocoat finish is a extremely durable finish. We can be reached at (877) 928-9663.
Tried the pure oil plus 2c and personally did not like the way the finish came out. I sanded it out and ended up going with a high performance varnish and was much happier. I thought I would give the product a try but don’t think I was satisfied enough to use your product moving forward.
