  • Has anyone got any suggestions on what oil or varnish to use on a wooden dining table?

    It was "refurbished" and varnished about 10 years ago and it has always been a bit tacky in places but over the years the tackiness has increased and the varnish is now rubbing off.

    Planning on sanding it all off and then re-painting the legs but then I don't know what to finish the top with. Varnish again but do a better job or use some sort of finishing oil?

  • Osmo for the nicest finish, Fiddes Clear Glaze if you don’t want to worry about water marks.

  • Others will be able to correct me, but when varnish is a bit tacky like that sometimes you're best off scrapping it off - otherwise the sandpaper is forever getting clogged.
