Clear coat over stain??
#1

11/16/12 I am in the process of restoring a Philco 53-1750 Radio Phonograph console --it has a Mahoganany finish. I've stripped off all the old varnish (or whatever they used to clear coat it with back then) and am going to sand it down, restain and then what do I clearcoat it with and how? I've read about Deft clear wood lacquer. Do I use Lacquer or varnish?? Gloss or flat texture?? Do I spray it on or use a brush? Thanks people,
Mike Icon_crazy
