The wooden rails on an old style winchable clothes drying rack have snapped and fallen apart so I am charged with renewing them.
I have obtained the correct size lengths of timber to use, but I need to know what I should stain them with.
The original timbers are a dark oakey colour on oak but the only timber I can get hold of at the moment (and they're in a hurry for them to be fixed) in that size is pine so I need to colour them darker.
My question is what kind of stain can I use that will definitely not mark any wet/damp clothing which is hung on them? I have plenty of varnish for external furniture in varying colours, would that do?
