kind of like a thick oil, vice the sticky honey of the other stuff... Captains and Ephan... tend to get sticky quickly, so you lay it on and then move on... but hard to feather into. Le Tonk is like an oil and it glides onto itself... at least until it starts to dry tacky... but you have more working time. And it doesn't require thinning... you filter it out of the can and use it straight. I find in a long day I can usually get two coats on.
