    You could use that.


    Durability id use this, it is kinda thick so you can thin it down a little with mineral spirits. Put a coat on then let it dry. Add another coat.

    At my way back job we had an outside contractor come in and scan the largest loads, it generated a giant pile of repair orders. Next time it was a smaller pile, repeat.

    Ultimately we saved enough money in reduced downtime to justify the purchase our own (used) camera and send some guys for training. This was a long time ago and the camera was almost the size of a VHS camcorder.

    @Slashaar this also.
    for table I would sand with 300grit then wipe down with a damp rag let it it dry then sand it with 600grit. Wipe down with a dry towel. I would use the spar finish, one coat let it dry then sand with 1000grit wipe off again with the dry towel, add another coat let dry.

    Do I need to condition the wood at all before I stain and seal? I was reading the Home Depot How-To on Butcher block finishing and it says to sand and add a wood conditioner, then stain and seal. I'm not gonna be prepping food or anything, these a purely computer desks/workstations.

    @07RedTacoDawg I know you are retired from UPS, our driver came in the store last night at 7, I always make small talk with him, he said yesterday was his worst day ever. He said he had 50 more stops and wouldn't be done until about 9:30 and he's a go getter :eek:

    He did say one of his earlier stops had 60 packages and had his truck all jacked up where he couldn't find anything :facepalm:

    Thank goodness we didn't get more snow last night. I went out to put something in my truck and my light usually comes on inside when I get close, it didn't and I couldn't get the door open. I figured it was froze, I opened the store and got to looking and my key fob was gone, I had the key that it goes on but the fob was MIA. I got to looking and found it between the shop and house covered in light snow, I went out there lastnight and apparently released it somehow. It wouldn't be too bad but I only have one fob and push button start :eek:

    Yeah man, that's the UPS way . They know which guys they can do that to and they will get the job done. They also know the ones that will do nothing but call the office all day begging for help.
