We are coming to the end of having a new staircase fitted. Apart

I don't think beeswax is ideal as a stair finish but what should I
use? My carpenters have recommended *Osmo* which is a fancy finishing
oil from Germany.
Attempting to buy some through Amazon, I got caught by their new
secure login: where you have to *tap* the message sent to your
mobile! Are geriatric/Luddites not allowed to shop anymore! I
suppose I could get the catering dept. to use her account. Two birds
with one stone as the new stair was entirely her idea!
I've used Osmo frequently, very good but not cheap. In case you
aren't aware there's a range of types so a bit of research is needed.
Also, you may well find cheaper suppliers (on feebay or elsewhere)
than Amazon.
+1 for Osmo, nice finish used it in a bathroom and for door thresholds.

OK. I'll ask the carpenters for details tomorrow when they fit the GLASS
balustrades:-)
