    . Has anyone

    If it is anything like their water seal, it isn't a very long lasting
    product.
    If you want to try a good home brew, mix mineral spirits with linseed oil in
    a 50/50 or thinner ratio and apply in warm dry weather, you can apply
    multiple coats, it will soak in and harden to a very durable sealed finish
    that won't need to be removed, it will naturally dry out in a few years and
    be ready for a touch up.
