Subject pretty much sez it all. I am putting baseboards into my basement which is at grade is dry (if not very dry). On the second and third stories, I've never seen the humidity above 40%.
So I've gone through and stained three sides of the baseboard assuming the stain is just for cosmetics in this case. Is this a valid assumption?
Minwax's can suggests/recommends that I polyurethane the wood now. Should I polyurethane all four sides or can I leave the backside, i.e., the side up against the wall, completely untreated?
Am going to be putting baseboard into a ventilated bathroom but am planning on polyurethaning the back side of those baseboards.
Comments?
Thanks all.
