[QUOTE="Saercoed, post: 456827, member: 18866"] Depending on how bad the finish is, you could strip down the finish with a varnish/paint stripper. Then clean down with white spirits, lightly sand with - 240 then a 400 grit sand paper. Then apply your preferred finish depending on whether you want a waterproof finish or not ( I have use Yacht Varnish before and Ronseal), de-burr ( sand down with 400 grit) after it has dried so as to remove the bits of grain that will stand up after the first coat. Then give another now or two coats. Do attest sample on another bit of wood to establish the finish you want first. [/QUOTE]
