Rubio and samples

The company claims Rubio is a one coat finish (monocoat). For the results we are after, it is not. The company did not respond to our reports on the rash.

We now use Old Masters Tung Oil Varnish, adding 25% polyurethane varnish. We wear masks and run our VOC scrubber (scroll down to see.)
