Re: interior wood treatment
I would have preferred linseed oil or spar varnish but I wasn't about to pay what they get for it today. So I went with polyurethane (JUNK) but it won't see the sun which is very destructive to a poly. finish. 2 coats of the poly. and one coat of flat black wood paint and I'm done. But really! Do we actually need that much effort and material on this wood? Most of the wood that is being replaced is, at best, 83+ y.o. and was outside in the weather or holed up in a leaky barn. My Town Sedan was parked in a leaky barn where the leak was on the right side and that's where all the water damage is. I don't plan to keep it out in the weather and I have no leaky barns in which to park it and let it rot away. How much preservative does it really need?
