Hi all,
I just finished sanding the floorboards in my lounge, and as I had expected, the boards are is a very poor condition (gaps, largish holes, etc) and will require a lot of filling (probably PVA glue + sawdust mixed - would wood filler work here as well?).
Whilst I prefer the natural finish, in order to try and make the imperfections less visible I decided to apply some wood dye prior to varnishing.
My plan is to use antique pine dye
I have used the sealer before on a similar job, and it saved me at least one coat of varnish (most welcome as it cost less than a third of the price of the varnish). The result was great, so I am looking to repeat the process if possible.
My questions therefore are:
- Does it make sense?
- In which order would I apply them (dye, then sealer, then varnish)?
- Anything to worry about such as a reaction between the different substances that I should consider? I will of course wait the recommended time between coats.
Many thanks in advance.
J.
