Otherwise I'll have to go down the Sadolin route.]]> Looking for an eco friendly clear woodstain thats uv resistant https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&Focus=5668#Comment_5668 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&Focus=5668#Comment_5668 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 15:40:11 +0100 nigel Looking for an eco friendly clear woodstain thats uv resistant https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&Focus=5674#Comment_5674 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&Focus=5674#Comment_5674 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 18:23:52 +0100 fostertom I have a problem - Scandinavian windows installed 6yrs ago, clear natural (pine) finish, coating now completely off in many places, needs extensive refinishing, as matching Phase 3 of the same job is about to happen. I suspect that what we have is just a base coat and we, or somebody somewhere should have applied additional coat(s) and these wd probably have been reqd to be pigmented.
a) is there anywhere a proper UV resistant truly clear 'stain' finish? such as you'd apply to new Scandinavian windows (I doubt the manufacturers wd guarantee simple linseed oil - or would they?)
b) what's suggested for refinishing the abovementioned (already stain-coated) windows, as clear as possible?

PS does simonzz's cedar any finishing at all? Cedar's rated Durable.]]> Looking for an eco friendly clear woodstain thats uv resistant https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&Focus=5788#Comment_5788 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=561&Focus=5788#Comment_5788 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:57:10 +0100 Martin 10 Or you could also use Holzweg/Volvox UV Protection Varnish it is a clear exterior wood varnish
Hope this helps.]]>
