5307 forum posts 83 photos	During the depths of lock down I retrieved a stalled project, a 5" vertical boiler, and fitted wood cladding, then it stalled again! Now I want to varnish the cladding. It will get at least warm, so what type of varnish do I use? The water based stuff is easy, but will it stand the heat

1033 forum posts 2 photos	At the start of lockdown I bashed out a couple of small vertical gas fired boilers and lagged them with the usual wood strips. The only varnish I had available at the time was Ronseal polyurethane satin so they both got a couple of coats of that. Both boilers have been steamed for the amusement of the grandchildren on at least a dozen occasions and the varnish is as good as the day it was applied, The varnish is turps / white spirit based, not the water based stuff.
