We are now in the process of having the doors put on (mexicana) and they look lovely but we need to decide what to finish them with.
We are both useless at this sort of thing but basically we like the doors the way they are. We know they need to be protected but what is the difference between woodstain and polyurethane varnish?
We dont want a high gloss so know we need matt or satin, but the polyurethne varnish also has something called clear satin. Is this a shiny satin?
Should we just go for a clear woodstain? Does this protect as well as stain the door?
I have the Johnstones pamphlet in front of me, Steve has gone out and left me to it and I need to decide tonight.
I am so confused, I like a matt look not shiny, but what is satin?
Help.............please.
