What would you recommend to protect a new hardwood window cill before its installed?
a varnish not paint

a varnish not paint
thanks
carl
thank you, expensive but will give it a tryMake sure it’s an opaque finish like Sikkens Cetol HLS basecoat and Sikkens Filter 7 Plus topcoat and not a typical exterior varnish as the weather and sunlight will destroy it in no time at all.
a new hardwood window cill
seal a new upvc window
this is an outside hardwood window cill with a upvc window frame sat on topWhen you say window cill, is this outside, or do you mean window board, inside?
This is why I ask!
Good advice. I've always used Sadolin products just because that is what the local merchants stocked 25 years ago when I moved in. Sikkens should be just as good or better. Someone on here published their own comparison trial and if I recall both did very well.

It doesn't. Sadolin and Sikkens work and are excellent. Linseed oil paints are like cats. Spawn of Satan.https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/thread...vs-sikkens-filter-7-plus.108601/#post-1298963
I wonder how this compares to @Jacob 's linseed oil suggestion,
or if that's just for coloured paints?
