Finish for ash

[dedee]

Tony,
The patina finish used on this dining table is very tough, heat resitant (hot tea cups etc), water resistant spills etc just wipe dry - but repeated banging with the sharp end of a fork does leave marks!

It gets cleaned periodocally with a damp cloth then bog standard spray on furniture polish.

edit ps the finish was put on in 1994 & looks as good now as it did then.

Thanks for the reply Chris

Lovely table and the finish looks good as new as you said. I get the feeling that this patina will be my number one finish from now on :wink:

Did I miss a post of your table (or forget? now that I'm 'in' my 40s and my memory is going - trying to catch my faculties ) don't remember seeing it before on here :?

Tony,
there are a few more pictures and some words here

It was made in 1994 when I knew very little about what I was doing. I would certainly do it differently today (especially the table top joints!)

I know this is an old topic, but wanted to try some Patina on Ash as I don't want the ash to yellow as in an oil finish . Screwfix is not listing this product in their catalogue or on their site. Can it be purchased anywhere else?

Regards

John

SORRY - Found another thread that answered my question

i used a tact cloth to wipe the table

Is that the kind that says nice things about the finish as it goes on? :roll:
