    <title>topic How to varnish over stained wood outdoor furniture? in Outdoor</title>
    <link>https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Outdoor/How-to-varnish-over-stained-wood-outdoor-furniture/m-p/136911#M18368</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I bought some outdoor furniture for the patio recently. It came with a light stain all over the wood, but the staining won't last for long against the elements. I was wondering what I would need to know if I wanted to varnish over the staining in order to preserve its life. Do I need to sand the wood first before using a marine varnish, or do I need to paint an undercoat of some sort first, or can I simply go ahead and varnish straight away?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/33375"&gt;@5Thumbs&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Great advice from &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/38821"&gt;@Jewelleryrescue&lt;/a&gt;. Typically outdoor furniture will come with a protective coating, and yours has likely been coated with an oil and stain combo. It would be best to leave it as such and do the yearly re-oil. The benefit of oils over hard coatings is that with yearly maintenance, they can be rejuvenated with a quick wipe over of oil. Hard coatings, however, need to be sanded back and re-coated when deteriorated. That's why you'll generally find most outdoor furniture comes with oil rather than a hard coating, as maintenance is much simpler.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If your furniture doesn't have a protective coating, which would be unusual, you can apply a marine varnish directly over the stain.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please let us know if you have further questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Mitchell&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the feedback. It's looking like I should not varnish but rather re-oil each year. Glad I asked you guys, because I would have made a bit of a mess with this one, I think.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
