Morning folks,
me & my better half are finishing off the kitchen, and the time has come to treat the nice wooden worktops. We were originally thinking of oiling them, but since that's got to be done every 6 months or so (and we're lazy) we're looking at varnishing them instead.... But - the better half has mentioned "heat resistant" varnish that won't knacker if we put hot objects (like mugs?) on the worktops - is there such a thing or will any decent clear varnish do the job?? I've never heard of it but just want to check coz if I don't I'll get wrong.... And any recomendations for the best type of long lasting clear varnish / laquer that won't make the worktops look all shiny and rubbish??
As a second thing - the moulding type affairs that you get to joint between the worktop and the tiled splashback - what the hell are they called? And where can I find them as I've trawled a couple of shops, and had a search about on screwfix etc and can't find anything
