: I was just a bit puzzled.

We had the conversation one time a year or two ago about that finish, Watco with tung oil over it, you wern't sold on it then :)

I'm really awful during the season to my paddles, they live in the car getting gross amounts of UV, anything that extends the finish is a good thing, well almost anything.

I don't like tung oil over epoxy feels odd to me, not the nice soft feel, more of a plastic manufactured feel, ya know it's hard to describe how something feels to your hands in type :)
