Do you still read your book @M666BMG

Only at EAC meets Shelly, special occasions.

 

[Shelly]

Yeah we should all meet up soon @M666BMG
Been too long

You'll be cleaning dust for years unfortunetly! It is so fine and gets into every book and cranny. Alan will be coughing up dust for quite a while unless he had a hood with a breathing filter. I use a urethane called Diamond Cote which only needs two coats and is the same stuff I used on the workbenches in the IA shop when I was teaching woodworking. Still looks great after 14 yrs. JIM

 

[M666BMG]

Yes nothing worse than dust in your book or your crack!

 

[Shelly]

That's good to hear @oldcarman , hope ours last that long too
This is meant to be good stuff , just hope it lives up to what it says on the tin
Alan is now putting the 1st coat on , so I'm stuck in the living room for a few hours

 

[M666BMG]

Just for you and Alan Shelly! X

 

[Shelly]

Yes nothing worse than dust in your book or your crack!

Alan don't think he likes it @t-tony
It's just a clear varnish and Alan this he'd like a light colour on it now

We have loads of wood flooring if you don't like varnish and want easy maintenance and looks good forever try this

[oldcarman]

I used that on all my woodwork projects both at school and home. If you get scratches just sand them gently and reoil, blends right in. Water resistant as well. Brings out the natural grain in the wood, even easier to apply. Varnish has been around forever and is one of the hardest coatings to care for properly. I usually put about 3-4 coats of a synthetic wax flooring coating over it that can be easily stripped off and redone periodically. Also, Alan can add a stain to the varnish for the final coats if he wants a bit of colour. HTH JIM
