Screwfix Patina

[Newbie_Neil]

Hi all

Is the Screwfix Patina any good, or do you recommend another brand?

Thanks
Neil

I think that's the only stuff there is, isn't it? Patina being more of a brand name than a generic name. S'where I got mine anyway.

Cheers, Alf

Neil,
yep AFAIK it's the only one. I got mine from a local decorator's merchants

I like it a lot. It does require a fair bit of rubbing in but the finish is, IMHO, bullet proof.

Isn't it just a wipe-on polyurethane? In which case there are others around, Behlen for instance:

edit: not much help to Neil, as I haven't tried it.

Thanks all.

Neil, if you want the full spec go here - it is not a water based urethane.

Isn't it basically a solvent based poly gel though? Does seem to have other admixtures.

Maybe I'm just misinformed, can't recall where I read that.

Hi Andy

Thanks for the link.

Got mine from Screwfix and love it - particularly on ash as it brings out the grain superbly

Patina seems to have disappeared from "Screwfix". Anyone got another source or an alternative product other than plain Danish Oil?
