Russell,
Fair enough. Always wanted to get down to Beth 'n Rods or Ken Fenner's Pressure Pros to see 'em in action. Current business has always gotten in the way.
Yes, there are many drying oils aside from linseed. Tung and rosewood come to mind, a nightmare to strip. Fine for furniture, less than worthless for exterior wood.

There is a world of difference between F&P and Wood-Tux. With all due respect, it took me about 40 or 50 decks before I would even say I was "good" with TWP when that was my product of choice.

Yes. I assume your TWP was paraffinic. Different strokes. Contractors get use to things, we are no better or worse than human. We have been using paraffinic stain for 6, maybe 7 years. Talk about a hard sell. We know what we are doing, do it well, and keep our customers. At least most of them!
4 lousy jobs is nothing. Little stain, no dollars in your pocket. We are hooked, both line and sinker, to Ready Seal stain. Unless they really f' up, it is our business.
Learning curves are great for the up and comers. Go get 'em. We will probably cash out doing what we do.
