Oh no! Nightmare! Didn't know that :(
Sorry, didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news! It doesn't mean it won't age in it's own way though, just not like an old F or G. The finish will likely still sink into the grain and ofc get well deserved dings :D
Yeah, I'd have thought if they put plasticizers in the finish to stop cracking/shrinking (and yellowing?), then they're actually cancelling out most of the qualities we like so much about an ageing nitro finish...
All seems a bit Emperor's New Clothes to me.
Yea it's misleading strategy imo. I was quite surprised when I saw a company who prides them selves on modern techniques trying to pull the vintage marketing card.
If it's got anything other than a satin feel then out comes the steelwool :lol:
