Has anyone used one of the modern water-based polyeurethane varnishes,
like Ronseal Diamond Hard, and if so, can you tell me if they affect
the colour of sanded pine floorboards? If not, what kind of varnish
would?


I've found the water based ones don't produce that lovely mellow glow on
pine you got with traditional varnish. But are better for woods you don't
want to change the colour of.


OK, thanks. So what still available now, that you would class as
"traditional" varnish?
