  • Any recommendations for external varnish?

    We have this seat that was raw wood (I assume pine) when we got it. So I quickly slapped the exterior varnish we had. Then I think it may or may not have had another quick layer at some point of whatever indoor varnish we had to hand.

    We were never crazy on the slightly orangy colour. But ultimately its an outdoor bench so not too fussed.

    Pic after a quick knock back with some sand paper.

  • Sand back and oil with a neutral/natural coloured oil rated for exterior/UV. I reckon any varnish unless religiously maintained is going to flake.

  • Cheers. Good point.

    I guess Osmo UV-Protection Oil Extra, 420 Clear then.

    Gotta love that it'll cost double the price of the bench to oil it. If anyone knows a cheaper version of the Osmo that'd be useful.
