5 Solutions for THIS!

Hi Manoj,

Welcome to Part 3, the final week of Flawless Finish February: transforming DIY furniture from drab to fab.

We kicked off this series by preparing our wood projects and then looking at some alternatives to store-bought stains. See the tips from week 1 HERE and the stain ideas from week 2 HERE.

Sealers or top coats protect your project from damage and enhance the wood grain's natural beauty.

But with so many available, which one should you choose?

Let's explore 5 popular choices to help you make the perfect pick.

New plan alert: Get ready for a new workshop storage solution. Details coming next week.
