Question 8

I've a project with several slabs of raw live-edge Saman Acacia wood installed as kitchen counters, vanity top, and as a breakfast nook. The project is in the midwest (high humidity area) and need to ensure the finish is waterproof (around the undermount sink and in a bathroom) and does not require frequent maintenance. While a poly coating would likely be the best waterproofing option, we don't want to cover our raw wood with a plastic-looking coat and prefer to be able to spot refinish. We've had Bioshield #9 recommended to us but I wanted to see if AFM penetrating oil or AFM oil wax would be a better option in terms of waterproofing and longevity for my Saman Acacia? View answer
