Wooden units

Post by **DJZ** » 05 Jun 2007, 09:14

I have wooden units in my van, not sure what wood, but it has been varnished and is in need of an overhaul. Can anyone recommend the best way to get a good finish with varnish as it doesn't look so good with a brush or am I doing it wrong

Thanks

all in the prep i find rub it down with a smotth paper then first coat of varnish leave to dry then rub it down with wire wool thiss will remove all the little bumps etc then varnish again and repeat if needed till your happy!!

I agree with all of the above for the preparation, without prep, you will be wasting time and effort.

You could try a foam roller from b and q this gives a pretty good finish.

Read some of the `paint your van for £50' thread, for tips and techniques, (don't read it all though, it's longer than Ẁar and Peace', but essential reading for those intended on re finishing their vans)
