    Quick question Astra.
    I'm turning a few of the tables into chess tables.
    Oil paint is very durable but with the amount of traffic that would be involved what's the best stuff for me to coat the oil paint with to finish? So that the tables last for years and will only require a quick wipe or polish to keep them clean in the home.
    Thanks :)

    Miss Pickles really needs to know.
    Is the chess table a go.
    Personally I think it is and will look the bizz.
    But will other peeps think they're a hit.
    Or will they be a mizz and look totally shitt.

    Phil has just done the classic of giving it with one hand and taking it with another!
    He quite clearly fancies me and is jealous of astra :p

    You might try a polyurethane oil based clear varnish, personally I would not coat them with anything, the oil paint will harden off over a period of a few weeks and this should be tough enough, maybe next lot you do use an enamel paint or even an acrylic paint sealed with several coats of polyvine sealer available finish in gloss, satin and dead flat. Sorry for not replying sooner I had a mild stroke just into the new year and not feeling too good at moment due to pharmacist fluffing about with differing brands of the same medication! aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
