16.00 A few years back I treated a block work surface for someone with wood oil, about 5 coats, it looked great and was up to the job. But to keep it looking good I told them it would need doing again in about 2/3 years time.
I had a call from them about 3 years later to say they had done it themselves but couldn't understand why after three weeks it was still tacky, and they couldn't use it.
