Rust-Oleum's History

Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn’t particularly care about paint. He just wanted to keep his ship intact. That’s why, when he noticed that an accidental splash of fish oil had stopped the relentless spread of corrosion on his rusty metal deck, he immediately recognized it for what it was: A valuable solution.

The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world’s first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we’ve perfected a solution—which has led to some of the most cutting-edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. If you’ve got a surface you need to protect or a look you want to transform, you’ve come to the right place. We have a coating for every challenge.

Product Description

I used this product on European Walnut butcherblock & Premium Southern Yellow Pine. This stuff did amazing work on the butcher block, it really brought out the natural wood color and made it pop. I really did not want it to stain the wood and it did not. I did apply 1 coat of poly on top after 3 coats of this stuff. The butcherblock you see in the pictures was done over 4 days. I did 1 coat in the morning and 1 coat in the evening for a total of 3 coats and then I did the same with water based satin poly but only used 1 coat and what you see is the end result. I'm very pleased with it. The results on the pine were less dramatic however, it makes the wood a bit more yellowish and makes the grain pop a little bit more as well. I personally love how it turned out in both of my applications and very happy with this product.
