I need to cleanup a few cupboard doors and revarnish. Would a good quality satin finish Estapol type product do the job. Any recommendations.

A good quality single pack urethane will do a good job. Although much slower to harden than 2 pack urethanes they eventually go quite hard. The only problem you may have is matching gloss levels with the old doors. You can buy a matting gel to stir into the varnish to reduce gloss.

I always simply wipe (paint) over with Penatrol using a a wad of Magic eraser or a small foam brush. allow a day and a half to dry.

Peter mentioned this to me a few years back, Our cabinetry was still in good condition but losing the lustre, i gave them all a wipe over and they look great.

Noel Flavell re coated his BT wood work in the quiet moments of Quorn muster, he may have some advice.

The varnish has disappeared in some sections so needs a complete recoat.

Hi Barrie & thanks to Mick for dobing me in!

Firstly Barrie if your van was purchased new and you or Daph have not used a silicon based polish on them the job is relatively easy.

Initially I did one door and it dried cloudy and on consultation with the Chair man at the Quorn Muster my doors had probably been polished with a silicon based polish ( previous owner) resulting in me having to sand back each door.

Once that was done I used a satin estapol and the doors and drawers came up a treat. A light sand between coats. I did 3 coats.

I didn't finish the job at Quorn as they take a while allowing drying and sanding between coats.

Good luck, but a job worth doing.

Cheers
Noel

Noel ( and a mention to Mick)

The only thing Daph reckons she has used is O'Cedar on the doors. Not sure whether it has silicone in it. We are the only owner.
I will I think, start with one door, sand it down and coat and see how I go. It seems to me that bugger all varnish was used in the first place. Looks to be a quick spray job.
Not sure when I will get around to doing it, but will report when done to give others an idea of what results I achieve.
Thanks to all.
