| Registered User New Member | It is necessary to paint wood so that you can keep it safe from darkening, cracking or peeling, two coats of varnish are pretty good to save your wood as well as give it a great look. |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | This is what I use, I realise that this is an Australian brand but I'm sure that similar products are available worldwide.
