                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I love the look of this: glossy; and the colors (thinking of either the sun-drenched oak or sunlit walnut) are so rich! But it seems like a love-it-or-hate-it sort of thing; I think the devil with this one is in the details of the application? I.e., you need to be very meticulous and take care with it? 1123,1122

Does anyone have any knowledge/informed opinion to impart? I would get the "regular VOC"--not the low VOC, and I'm aware of all the work that needs to be done with this. It looks fairly labor intensive (though, tbf, not more so than a typical woodworking project--just on a larger scale and with more variance possible in climate factors).

My main concern is about peeling--I just spoke with Cabot and they confirmed that while it has penetrating oils, it DOES have coating properties. I live in Portland, Oregon; UV isn't a terrible concern, but there is pretty much constant rain during the winter (though the summers are more or less total drought/sun).

But if it has the possibility of being a good thing, I would love to do this. I just don't want to buy something that is destined to fail.

Appreciate any insight anyone can provide. And on the two colors as well--would love opinions!]]></content:encoded>
