Hi
My windows are wooden and the varnish is starting to peel. I assume it is varnish as wouldn't expect a stain to peel as my understanding is that a stain soaks into the substrate - correct me if I'm wrong.
I want to take advantage of the recent dry weather to strip the remaining varnish from the window and re-varnish/stain it.
The windows consist 4 rectangular panes of glass. There is no sign of any rot.
I have the following questions:
- What is the best way of completely stripping the current finish?
- I'm planning to use Ronseal 5 Year Woodstain once the surface is ready. Is this product as good as its name suggests? ( I intend to apply 3 coats with a light sand in between each coat)
I have attached a photo, any advice on acheiving the best results would be most welcome.
