I'm trying to help out a neighbour who is a good friend. He sanded down his (approx 25 year old) interior hardwood window sill in his lounge and made a really bad job of flattening the layers of old varnish from years gone by.
In haste to get the job done, he has applied 3 coats of Ronseal quick drying varnish. It's now a mess frankly. Think patches of light and dark.
My gut feeling is that *all* the varnish has got to come off and start again with a stain and then danish oil.
Aside from going back to bare wood, is there another option? Could a sanding sealer (which I've never used) or anything else recover this?
I don't know what kind of hardwood it is. I have a feeling my gut reaction is correct but thought I'd ask (just in case).
