    Hi I have sapele hardwood windows that I am trying to restore but am really truggling. I have sanded and sanded but the stains will not disappear and when I retreat with Sikkens Cetol just look worse still. Any help much appreciated.

    Liberon WB125 Wood Bleacher or similar may help

    I'm not very knowledgeable on this as a bit specialised but something you could look at.

    There are acid washes also like Barrettine wood reviver.

    This is more french polishing / wood restoration so I've never used and out of my area.

    Give Finneys Wood Finishes a call on 01246 261664. It’s an Aladdin’s cave of every conceivable product for finishing timber, ranging from ultra-modern stuff to ancient stains such as Van **** crystals. The guy who runs the business is an ex-cabinetmaker with encyclopaedic knowledge. No affiliation - just a very satisfied customer. They do mail order as well.

    The profanity filter seems to have auto-deleted a perfectly innocent word :mad: The actor who played the chimney sweep in ‘Mary Poppins’ - his surname.
