Never use tung oil,almond oil and rottonstone,Than wax.

Ah - well there you go! Haha. For some reason I thought you used tongue oil.
Seems like the debate is always whether it not to *try* to put a waterproof seal on, or rather something less permanent like oils and waxes.

Tung oil actually is not that durable,I use a product called Preserve,is also used on cutting boards,On wood it penetrates deeply.
I have brushes I made 10 years ago that still are in fine condition,zero problems.

Oh my,,,he's at it again,,,,,,,,,,
