tmf Posted January 21, 2014 #1 Posted January 21, 2014 which method is preferred, and is a sanding sealer required for both methods
clloyd Posted January 21, 2014 #2 Posted January 21, 2014 Stain if you want to change the colour of the wood. Then Oil/Varnish for protection. I use both oil and varnish depending on the wood and finish (varnish to protect paint, oil to enhance and protect wood) My experience with coloured varnishes at full scale would make me shy of doing that to a ship, but others may have different experience.

Jaxboat Posted January 23, 2014 #3 Posted January 23, 2014 I think you are spot-on Colin! I totally agree! Best Jaxboat
