Worktop Finishes
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.20 PM
My solid wood kitchen worktops are looking worse for wear and I would like to sand them down and refinish them. I am a little overwhelmed and confused about all the information and products out there. As i am renting my property out next year, i would like something a little more hardwearing than oil on them. I had settled on brushable lacquer. I have seen that this is different to varnish but it is a good hardwearing finish for tables etc and it is food safe once it is fully cured. However, i have also seen that it is not suitable for food preparation surfaces and that it shouldnt be used on solid wood. Polyurethane may come out plasticy looking so i was not taken with the idea of it. So alot of conflicting information and I would appreciate some clarity and any products that you may recommend! Thank you
