Interior panels

[slammed72]

Hey guys and girls ,

Just wondered if anyone could advise if they have ply interior panels what they have used to treat the panel finish ?? I'm looking for something very westfalia esq.

Thanks in advance

Busy slowly working through mine now matey, look at my thread in the gallery as there is some pictures thus far. I've used exterior grade ply and a dark oak stain varnish for one coat only, then went over with a couple of coats of gloss clear varnish.
Varnished the rear of the panels too to seal them a little more 8)
Time will tell but I like the look and finish so that's all I'm bothered about

If you want just the wood look I personally would use marine ply, the more you pay the better it will be and some of the good stuff has beautiful grain. The bonus is its waterproof and is not affected by damp spots, birch ply particularly is awful for that.

For finish it can simply be oiled, or if you want to varnish a good cheap one is rustins yacht varnish. Thin it with a dash of spirit and apply with a gloss roller.
