Hi, newbie here: I have four chairs that need to have the seats done. However, the chairs are for outside on the porch. The reason why they need to be restored is because the material got brittle and the seats fell through when someone sat on them.
So here's my question:
What sort material am I supposed to buy that can weather the outdoors? Or is there a special finish or spray that I use at the end in order to protect the wicker or cane? Any help would be so very appreciated. Thank you
@cucumber202 I actually liked their product better then another supplier I tried, feel free to post a source with a better product though. As for the minwax I'm not very expirenced in that field, not my department kinda, best I can say is test it on some scrap rush wraped around a board and see how you like it. Thanks :)
Nicely done! Probably the most comprehensive demonstration I've found yet, filled with little details otherwise left out by others who've attempted instruction on this subject. I now feel as if I can do this and have success. Thanks! And by the way...loved the birds chirping in the background.
