After reading this newsgroup for a while, I see many opinions about finishes
for antique furniture repair & restoration. What is the consensus as to the
best topcoat for antique furniture after restoration, repair, and staining?
I do not use lacquer and do not have a sprayer. I do work on a small
scale...a few pieces at a time and am not a professional. I have used tung
oil and Waterlox (tung oil) with good results in the past. Are there better
alternatives?

Thanks very much,
