We haven't stopped all work on the house,
Oswax |
rather, it's been a slow, layer by layer process of protecting the wood. The staircase will, we think, be naked, so we needed to protect it. At 10% of the cost of this run of steps, Oswax may be stupidly expensive, but it was recommended by MEACO, the joiners when they came over to measure up for the next section of steps. It looks as if there'll be enough to do the 2 flights of stairs, so maybe it's not that costly over-all.
4 coats later and I must admit it looks and feels fantastic.
Let's hope it's robust and waterproof, as promised.
