natural Boat oil and varnish?

[udoma]

Hello all,


I came via some Dutch websites across the following product:

Boipin boat oil and varnish and wondered if anyone has experience with it

Use Google translate (http://translate.google.com/#) the Dutch language (if you don't understand)

This seems to be possible with Coelan (not natural) when water is able to get underneath the coating:

The argument of Biopin oil is: It penetrates the wood much deeper than synthetic varnish and is very flexible.

here is the website from the manufacturer:

Curious if anyone knows the product and has worked with it.

Many thanks in advance for any feedback,

Have you considered Le Tonkinois - I believe some Forumites have used it and liked it. Sorry, no experience with the other products you mention.

Indeed, I was thinking about this one, did come reasonable through the test from Classic Boat magazine.

But of course, after reading some Dutch websites, I am very curious to see if there is anyone who actually used it.
