goldfish Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Should I use clear varnish or paint it coffee cream colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I would make pot of strong coffee and then let it set a while --then use it as the stain! After thoroughly dry light sand and then use an exterior clear finish. Test first on some of the scraps to see if you like it , of course! I bet you will.
