Hi all....
Has anybody got the garden furniture that used to be marketed by a company known as Staffordshire Garden Furniture. I think they are defunct but that type of furniture is available from other company's. Its seen a lot at Country shows and agricultural shows. Its wood and quite robust (and heavy).
Last year, I sanded the stuff down and applied Sadolin Light Oak. This year its flaking off. When in the trade I rated Sadolin, used it a lot on soffits and fascia's.
If you have this type of furniture, what do you coat it with. I reckon whatever was used originally, did not like Sadolin. I want to keep it light oak, as once you darken it, its hell of a job to get back to light colour. And I don't want to be doing it yearly. And I have winter covers :y
Any ideas appreciated. :y
-
Sadolin is now water based and bloody rubbish, you need a good spirit based treatment or alternatively oil or wax it.

The Sadolin I have, Mark, is solvent based. :y
Brought a tin yesterday. I expect they do water based, and as you say, like most other water based stuff, probably rubbish :y
Definitely a white spirit/turps job to clean brushes.

I used this a couple of years ago on the garden furniture and it's lasted well. :y
Ronseal's water based fence stain is my recommendation as well. ;) I stained the fence with it about 12 months ago and it hasn't washed off yet! :y
Ooops that's quite big! :o Photobucket was a bit clonky! ::)
