Preparing & Finishing Wood

There could be three reasons why you want to give wood some kind of finishing treatment. You may want to seal new wood, touch up an existing finish, or you may want to strip off an existing finish and start again, perhaps to give the wood a different colour.

But before you apply any wax, varnish, oil, colour, or paint, spend some time on preparation. You'll end up with a smoother, more effective, and more professional finish.
