Table protection for Freedom (yes i Know) table
Hi guys,
Probably not the right place to ask the advice of you experts, since I didnt actually make this table, but since its the Finishes forum, hopefully the wisdom of the forum could help.
My wife recently bought aFreedom table, its made in Vietnam, its very light wood, and is finished in that grey-whitish paint that exposes the grain. I can post pic if required.
As we have a 2 year old and a 4month old, I dont want them to embed crayon, textar, etc etc into the table and then make it look grubby when the stuff gets into the grain, so...can you please suggest a surface protection?
Ive already outted wax, but perhaps just an oil or varnish would be best? Would prefer not to darken the timber, but I guess most finishes will darken it some degree.
Thanks again, and sorry for insulting you guys with a Freedom table question. I dont get enough shed time to make my own table, now with the 2 kids (and complaining neighbour about noise after 7pm ...grrrr)
Cheers
