You got me laughing with that one. I am a salesman by nature. I often wonder if it's because I have the word "Sell" in my name twice and have heard it hundreds of thousands of times in my life.

That being said, I know better than to try to sell you product. Besides, if I were to try something like that I would probably just send you a couple pails of our parafinnic stain not argue you into it on a BBS.

I also recognize that you know your business and understand what you're talking about. That makes "debating" you fun.

TWP was not a paraffinic. I used the 100 series and specifically the cedar 101. It was/is a beautifully clean alkyd formula with transoxide pigment.

Now back to the debate. I believe that you asserted a 50/50 blend of Wood-Tux Brown Sugar and Western Cedar resulted in the most beautiful finish you have ever seen on Ipe.

I present for your reconsideration Wood-Tux Amaretto.
