Q: My concern is the varnish. This area has the most traffic so I must have a varnish that will hold up to the wear and tear. I have used different varnish’s on furniture but they can’t stand up to the heavy traffic areas.
Any tips or suggestions?
A: I can, without hesitation, recommend Poloplaz Primero which I have been using on my jobs for more than a year. It is the best polyurethane finish in every way that I have used in more than 35 years. http://www.poloplaz.com
