Can this finish be sprayed or does it need to be hand rubbed?

Oil finish should not be sprayed on, unless of course you do that just before you rub it in. But even then, spraying will likely place too much product on the piece. Much better to do multiple coats of thin coats followed by brisk rubbing/burnishing.

Can I apply this over Rubicon Monocoat to build up to a satin finish?

Our products are non-film-forming finishes so attempting to build them up is quick way to get a very long cure time. They should only be applied over raw or totally stripped wood or, over other natural "drying" oil finishes. Do not try to apply them over any type of film-finish or waxes.

is it water proof or resistant leaving no marks or fog? This is for a table.

No is not waterproof. It's a varnish derived from Linseed oil and Bee's Wax. I use it exclusively to bring out the figure in wood, however I do not recommend it for a kitchen table. A Polyurethane Varnish or Epoxy Coating is what I recommend. I suggest using "Watco Wipe on Poly". It is easy to apply and with three coats it is very water resistant.

Can i apply this varnish oil straight unto the unfinished desk? is applying tried and true's danish oil beforehand a recommended practice?

I applied tried and true varnish directly to unfinished walnut without any problems. The varnish has a very thick viscosity and not sanding beyond 120 helped absorption for me. I also had to applied it very very thin and wipe all excess off after a hour or so. This was my first time using this finish and it seems to be doing it's job and has a nice satin finish.
