clear coat for a pallet table?!
hi guys, I'm a complete noob here and
also to woodworking in general! I recently got into
making some things myself (a spice rack and a book
shelf) and have decided to use some pallets to make
a table for outside!
I really like the old rough rustic timber look and want
to keep that! so my question is what can I use to coat
over the top, I don't really want to sand it to much,
besides the big splinters etc, because I like the character
of the beaten up pallet!! I was thinking maybe a spray on
poly, but don't know if thats suitable for what I want!?
open to any suggestions, like I said I'm still learning alot
so forgive me for any silly questions!!
oh, and I am compitent in spraying if that's the way to
go!! your feedback would be much appreciated.! cheers

For timber to be used outside poly is not what you want, it will dry and crack.
Oil it, Boiled Linseed or any equivalent is good, or any finish for decking, it's designed to stand up to the weather.
I'd be interested to see a picture of the finished item.Dragonfly
No-one suspects the dragonfly!
