Jason, good point about the wax in these products. I did make a sample and the poly went on fine and still ok after a couple days. Way back when we did cabinets using glazes, stains and catalyzed topcoats we would test for compatibility by putting samples in the freezer overnight and out in the sun. I also hate poly but worried about the high usage on this bar. I have some time on this and will also look into going over this with Livos.
I am very pleased with the way the Rubio chocolate color went on the white oak. The wood had a lot of color variation and the stain evened it all out with no blotches. Very easy to apply on flat surfaces but tedious on the moulding.
