Should I stain the CC before varnish? to get uniformity of color etc? or is it traditionally just a varnish coat? (it did not appear to have a stain on it previously) I have also heard about wood penetrating apex coats for further protection? any guidance on either? Edited by Joe Kriz on 11/09/20 - 12:52 PM
