I've installed a couple of stair handrails in my house. They are made of pine which I have stained. What would be the most suitable finish: button polish, or teak oil or is the difference insignificant?
I tried using something called Antique Oil from B&Q but it didn't go off properly for some reason. It ended up drying to a kind of waxy finish that I could scratch away with a finger nail, and that was after about a month of drying. I ened up removing it all. Maybe it was past its use-by date or something.
Thank you, Al
