Waterlox. Unlike urethane finishes that coat wood with a layer of plastic, Waterlox Tung Oil finishes offer a handmade blend of tung tree nut oil and resin that penetrates even the densest of woods and remains elastic with the change of seasons. Now VOC-compliant in all 50 states, the maker says the finish will provide the look and feel of naturally oiled wood, as well as a waterproof surface that won't chip, peel, crack, or wrinkle. 800.321.0377. www.waterlox.com.
Duron. Signature Select interior acrylic gloss enamel has the characteristics of oil-based paint in a durable water-based acrylic formula. The enamel adheres to glossy surfaces with minimal surface prep and offers excellent flow, leveling, and hide, the maker says. Low odor, fast dry time, and soap-and-water clean-up are additional benefits. The Signature Select line is formulated to offer added mildew-resistance, making it effective in high-moisture areas. 800.723.8766. www.duron.com.
Minwax. Find rich red undertones in two new colors, chestnut and gunstock, added to the Wood Finish palette. Available in gallon, quart, or half-pint sizes, the new finishes are made for interior wood surfaces, including furniture, doors, floors, cabinets, and more. The Wood Finish oil-based stains normally require two coats with a brush, cloth, or foam applicator, and will penetrate into wood pores for a long-lasting color, the maker says. Additional coats may be applied for richer color. 201.818.7500. www.minwax.com.
