I just picked up a bottle of this stuff at Woodcraft the other day. I've heard this finish has some long term durability issues, but for a beginning pen turner like me the relative ease of application seems like a good initial choice. Thank you.

I like it a lot, it certainly does the trick, and is super easy to apply. I just put some on a paper town, and hold it on the wood while it's still turning, after I've sanded to 400 grit. Once it's coated, I fold the paper towel up, and pinch the turning wood with the towel to soak up the extra, and give it some friction to set it. badger I use Mylands High Build Friction Polish.
