Hi Glenn, thanks for the offer but I'm going to stick with the four sealers I already committed to for now.

A buddy of mine used Val Oil and I remember it staining the paint if the lures were left in the car on too hot a day (maybe he didn't let them dry long enough?) I think I'll always associate that with Val Oil.

If I move away from epoxy-sealing birch it will probably be towards spar varnish. Based on Woodbuster's 2008 testing on SOL (below), it seems spar varnish did better than Val Oil.
