I used this on a dining room table and love the look, but it's extremely susceptible to grease or fats (butter, salad dressing, etc). They leave a smear even after wiping it up. Any suggestions on what to do? I'm thinking of sanding and resealing with something else. View answer

Question 49

I got samples of the Natural and Teak. Looking for something that would give UV protection but also keep the cedar outdoor furniture looking close to the way cedar looks naturally. Do you think the Natural, being fairly light, gives enough UV protection? Or should we try mixing another shade in? I would assume the darker the shade, the more protection. But, is the Natural enough protection to last say for a year? The Vermont Natural cedar stain has too much orange tone for our taste. It would be great if their company developed more colors. This furniture is in shade a good bit and sun during varying parts of the day. View answer
