    What happened to 180g? If I sand to 220 I always sand to 180 first-just logical, I guess.



  2. Michael Bradford on February 7, 2023 at 4:27 am

    Could care less



  3. afk4dyz on February 7, 2023 at 4:29 am

    I want to refinish my old crib for my daughter. Anyone know of some stains that are kid safe?



  4. Razzle Dazzle on February 7, 2023 at 4:29 am

    Is rubio the same idea as osmo polyx hardwax oil.?? Thanks



  5. Tony Prior on February 7, 2023 at 4:30 am

    If your cabinet is finished with the Oil Plus 2C, how do you prep it and refinish it?



  6. The Kingdom Of Bad Decisions on February 7, 2023 at 4:33 am

    You’re related to Network Chuck aren’t you. I know you are.



  7. Bunker Audio Panama on February 7, 2023 at 4:33 am

    Dang, I remember when duct tape was exclusively silver



  8. The Loon Family on February 7, 2023 at 4:33 am

    Does this finish work well on plywood?



  9. adam mccurdy on February 7, 2023 at 4:33 am

    I bet a tack cloth would work really good to get all the dust. We would use those for final step before painting cars



  10. Mike Curtis on February 7, 2023 at 4:34 am

    That red tape looks like underlayment/vapor barrier tape



  11. Mark Grimm on February 7, 2023 at 4:36 am

    what do you use for grain filling



  12. Bill Kormoski on February 7, 2023 at 4:38 am

    sweet



  13. zach smith on February 7, 2023 at 4:38 am

    Would Rubio be a good solution for interior drawer finishing?



  14. mike d on February 7, 2023 at 4:39 am

    Can you give me advice on something? How can I get in touch with you?



  15. A Krueger on February 7, 2023 at 4:39 am

    If you were doing a bathroom cabinet or vanity, would you still use Rubio? Just curious, because those rooms are typically so humid. Didn’t know if it would hold up under those conditions. Thoughts?



  16. Sandi Newton on February 7, 2023 at 4:40 am

    What’s the finish that go along with your heading, cause the one you’re using, has a lot of warnings with it.



  17. Pat Cross on February 7, 2023 at 4:42 am

    I grew up on the Oregon Coast and spent quite a bit of time in the part of the Willamette Valley near your place, Go Beaves, one of the things I really miss now that I’m living in Montana are the Rhododendrons, love the ones outside your window near the end of the video. Love your content and delivery…

  19. Andrew Ryan on February 7, 2023 at 4:43 am

    Could you use wood dust from actually making the piece as a tint for the epoxy?



  20. Sean D. on February 7, 2023 at 4:47 am

    I love sanding, it’s like doing dishes but actually relaxing and not as strenuous for me. Lol. It’s funny how many wood workers hate sanding.



  21. xarcaz on February 7, 2023 at 4:48 am

    God, I wish he’d finish my wood



  22. Bricktop1253 on February 7, 2023 at 4:48 am

    Osmo ployx is what I use. Same thing but much cheaper.



  23. Kelly Fagan on February 7, 2023 at 4:50 am

    Can the tube of epoxy be used over and over again or is it a one trick pony? Thank you



  24. Gary Johnson on February 7, 2023 at 4:54 am

    Do you still apply it to both sides like you would a polyurethane?



  25. Thomas Dillon on February 7, 2023 at 4:54 am

    I’m about to build a speaker kit and the cabinets are baltic birch plywood. Would you recommend Rubio for such an application?



  26. Korey Williams on February 7, 2023 at 4:55 am

    I’m going to attempt to build a piece of outdoor furniture using cedar and plywood. How would I get a nice glassy feel for the seat part? Or do I just sand it smooth and seal it?



  27. Suzanne Nixon on February 7, 2023 at 4:57 am

    Ok, but why make the epoxy black? I kept waiting for the step where it blends in.



  28. mark kelly on February 7, 2023 at 4:58 am

    Where can I buy bigger boxes of sanding discs like you have in this video? I’m relatively new to woodworking but very quickly learning sanding discs are very quickly consumed lol



  29. BK Boutique on February 7, 2023 at 4:59 am

    My wife usually helps me finish my wood. I’ll create a video if there’s enough interest



  30. Michael on February 7, 2023 at 5:01 am

    yeah I’m not at all impressed with Rubio. I built my daughter a dining table and used the rubio Cotten white I put on a good heavy coat about a year later their cat threw up on the table and it stained the shit out of it, then they put a planter on it and some of the water got onto the table and that stained. I’ll not use it again.



  31. Jody Gallaway on February 7, 2023 at 5:02 am

    can you suggest a finish for spaulted maple, it was a few soft spots and need something that results in a hard finish. its going to be used as a table?



  32. Klint Harder on February 7, 2023 at 5:04 am

    Can you really use this product on Oak floors? Is it durable enough to last years?



  33. ME First on February 7, 2023 at 5:04 am

    JUST A RUBIO FINISH COMMERCIAL !!!!!!! NOTHING MORE !!!!



  34. M.J.S. on February 7, 2023 at 5:05 am

    Osmo makes great hardwax oils, too.



  35. Axl G. on February 7, 2023 at 5:06 am

    i looooove love love the finish! so neat! but i was surprised after seeing the price of rubio lol but it indeed put justice on the wood



  36. Yates Harrison on February 7, 2023 at 5:07 am

    I"m looking at different finishes for a set of cherry stair treads. Will the Rubio finish have blotchy spots like a normal stain? Or do you have to "seal" the grain first with a preconditioner?



  37. Here for the videos on February 7, 2023 at 5:08 am

    Have you thought about a drum sander to cut down on it?



  38. Here for the videos on February 7, 2023 at 5:08 am

    I have about 1000 sq feet of maple flooring how many cans would it take to do it?



  39. Greg Heaney on February 7, 2023 at 5:13 am

    Why not make a shorter bench👍



  40. Mark McCulligh on February 7, 2023 at 5:15 am

    Just wondering what would you use to filler nailer hole if you are using Rubio Monocoat. I assume normal wood filler won’t work well with Rubio Monocoat. If you mix wood glue and sawdust would that work at all?



  41. RatcP on February 7, 2023 at 5:17 am

    What color finish did you use here? Great work by the way!



  42. Kun Lee on February 7, 2023 at 5:18 am

    I thought Rubio was going to be another type of stain but the finish is awesome. I’m a believer



  43. Dan G on February 7, 2023 at 5:19 am

    I think you’re a couple clamps short buddy.
    Funny thing is you could probably use more sometimes.



  44. Drew B on February 7, 2023 at 5:19 am

    “Bonds to the wood fibers on a molecular level.” 😂 That sounds like marketing BS



  45. Michael on February 7, 2023 at 5:19 am

    You mentioned a second coat? Rubio states that a second coat is useless because rubio will not stick to itself



  46. Brent Daugherty on February 7, 2023 at 5:20 am

    Is that Rubio cotton white?



  47. Justin Ayers on February 7, 2023 at 5:21 am

    Another new convert to Rubio here. We just finished some walnut floating shelves with it today. Bought an extra because we didn’t think the tiny little can could handle 100 bdft. Took less than two hours, the finish looks so clean and professional, unbelievably easy and fast. And that was in a 50° garage. AND, we didn’t even use one 350ml can combo, still have about 1/5th left. When they say a little bit goes a loooooooong way, they aren’t kidding.

    Sorry I sound like a shill here, but it really is that good, just blown away how much better it is than the poly we’ve been using at basically every concievable angle. Not going to be spending a day+ putting on half a dozen coats of stinking, running, lapping, dust-spotting poly that takes forever especially in cold weather. $60 for the tiny can may seem ludicrous if you’re used to 4x the amount for 4x less price of regular varnish, but I’ll say the quality and speed of the finish is actually a much better value than fighting multiple coats to make poly look good. Thanks Bourbon Moth for the heads up.

    That ends my commercial, I guess. Hemmed and hawwed over trying it because it seemed too good to be true- nope, wish I tried this stuff years ago. One of those rare products where it’s not just marketing BS, it is everything they say.



  48. amber porta on February 7, 2023 at 5:23 am

    Is it wrong that I want an air compressor just to blow off my work pieces? 🤔😬



  49. Mel on February 7, 2023 at 5:25 am

    Hi, your channel is awesomeeee… What stain and finish would you suggest for pine wood stair treads? I am stuck. I am so glad I found your awesome channel. Please helppp



  50. Aldo ornelas on February 7, 2023 at 5:25 am

    What color of finish was used on this piece? Hard to see it on the video
