Exterior woodstain on interior wood?

Post a reply

I was planning on staining the banister on our stairs this weekend, but have realised tonight that I've gone and bought ronseal exterior woodstain.

Is there a reason (finish, fumes etc) that I can't use this stain on the banister?

Hi markgordon
There is no reason why you should not use an exterior varnish on interior wood. If the wood is new you could use a water based varnish but this will raise the grain leaving a rough surface. If you are re-varnishing it is better to use a solvent based product.
