janet b asked:
I have had a new spindle staircase and i have put 2 coats of varnish on it, most of it is ok but at the top of the staircase some of the spindles have gone a grey colour, why has this happened and how can I get it right. I have used varnish but it does say for stairs, could this be the reason? Should I just now give it a light sanding then put a different kind of varnish on it? This varnish is matt and I would like to have gloss or satin. Can anybody tell me how to correct this. I have used a medium oak varnish but it has come out like a antique pine varnish as the spindles had lots of knotts in which were dark.
