| Hi, I am thinking of applying the desired stain first, then mixing paint glazes to achieve color and distress in fir beams and rafters, etc...
I understand that fir can blacken without uv, it will be for an outdoor poolside kitchen. Can I apply my uv varnish when everything is installed and finished? Also would it be easier to match the tng when installed, to avoid lifting and dust? tng is 700sq.ft.. I have done many cieling murals, etc...so I think it might be cleaner and easier...?? |

| Antique or distress the first, then apply a stain that lets the wood grain show if possible. Black is a problem. Avoid paint if at all possible. Then use marine spar varnish,low sheen. You will need to reapply every 2 to 4 years. |
