Odie's Oil is unique among finishes because it penetrates the surface layer of the wood, filling the invisible spaces between them while cross-linking molecularly to the wood fibers beneath the outer surface. When Odie's Oil cures it creates a very-strong natural rubber-like substance that plays a significant role in stabilizing wood planks and making them impervious to water and other liquids. The only way to wear an Odie's finish away is to wear away the wood itself. Odie's Oil is a permanent seal inside the wood, melding with it and creating a new and more resilient structure, serving to reduce movement such as cupping, curling, and checking or cracking and hence virtually eliminating callbacks.

In contrast, film forming finishes (and that includes polyurethanes and the many popular catalyst-dependent "hard-wax oil" finishes) serve only as a temporary protective layer atop of the surface. They are not structural enhancements, nor do they provide any significant stabilization or reduction in movement. Since they rely solely on a mechanical bond to the wood surface and if they cross link it is only to its own chemical catalyst, they can eventually break down and/or separate from the wood floor. This can't happen with Odie's Oil as it resides inside the wood instead of as a layer on-top.
