Wood Countertops All Sealed Up

The Durata finish is waterproof, chemical resistant and does not require recoating. The scratch resistance surface takes its design cues from luxury yacht sealants that stand up to the most abuse possible. It is also highly chemically resistant--even lacquer thinner does not affect the cured surface. Water left on the surface simply dries with no water rings, red wine, vinegar, alcohol, soaps and coffee will not affect the finish. Durata does not require recoating like tung oil urethanes, saving clients ongoing maintenance expenses and avoiding the household disruption of counters out of service. Light scratches can be polished out with a polishing kit similar to buffing a car (contact Grothouse Lumber for kit). Touch ups can be accomplished with a convenient spray can if required.
The food grade oil finish is so safe, it is edible. It has a flat sheen, and ongoing oiling of the wood creates a deep rich patina.
