Grian Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Is there anything that is effective (and ideally non-yellowing)? Sensitive to VOC's, strong scents etc and try to avoid them in my new build. Recently treated external timber cladding with an Osmo product and was headachey and congested so if the Top Oil is similar I don't fancy being indoors with it. Would also prefer it not to yellow the timber as I have just spent ages hand sanding someone's ugly white wax finish off some bargain 2nd hand full stave worktop! Thank you.

ProDave Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I used 3 coats of the 2 pack varnish that Howdens sell (sorry I forgot to not the actual make of the stuff) Super finish and very hard wearing. I doubt you will have a problem once it is dry but very stinky stuff to apply, so wait for good weather and all the windows open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural matt top oil on order, unfortunately won't arrive until Monday. Sourced sister's Polyx oil to do the back and underneath as weather is superb and I can put them outside on trestles.
