    Default Hi from Sunny Widebay Burnett area QLD

    Hi, I’m an immature ‘woody’ and mainly into revamping stuffwe already own that needs revamping. Notsure where to post my question, I’m revamping a massive timber BBQ table withattached bench seats. Have totally strippedold varnish top /underneath and wooden bracing. Have then recoated all top areas with a Marine varnish, now I don’t havea lot left but do have a full tin of interior varnish leftover from previousjob.. Am I able to recoat all underneath areas and wooden bracing with theinterior then finish off with the exterior varnish with no adverse effects.

    There shouldn't be an issue puting exterior over interior varnish... unless they are seriously different. If you put nitro varnish over poly you'll probably get a very attractive crackle finish...

    Personally I prefer to either oil that sort of stuff, or make up a wipe-on/off varnish. One part varnish (most poly's are ok), one part gum turps and one part boiled linseed oil then you just rub it in with a rag and wipe it off again a quarter of hour afterwards. Do it a few times and the finish gets better and better. Plus when it gets scratched or faded you don't have to strip the whole lot again; just sand the affected area back (only if you really have to) and put on some more. Scratches in varnish look really obvious and then you'll get peeling and flaking in that area. If you savagely ignore an oil or wipe on finish and never touch it up or recoat it then the worst that happens is that the wood slowly starts to go silvery; just as if it was uncoated from the start, but over a longer period of time.

    This also means you get to stretch your varnish out a lot more; plus oil and turps are cheap.
