A few years ago we purchased a house where all the external woodwork was nicely painted in Dulux Deep Mahogany woodstain. Every couple of years we rubbed down the woodwork and applied another coat of Deep Mahogany.
Recently we then overcoated some of the woodwork with the lightest woodstain we could find (Pine) as we found the woodwork was getting too dark with repeated coats of Deep Mahogany.
Unfortunately, the Pine woodstain is giving an unpleasant brownish ting which we don't like. All work has now stopped pending a solution to our colour dilemna!
I could not face stripping all the woodwork back to bare wood and starting again. Is it possible to get a colourless woodstain -or is that varnish? Could we just use varnish over the top of the woodstain to preserve the deep mahogany colour? Any other ideas?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
