Default Varnishing over Paint

It is a polyurethane varnish (Ronseal clear satin varnish), but the
problem is not one of adhesion. The cupboard doors are painted a pale
yellow, but the varnish makes them look dirty.


There was a thread a while ago about protecting a painting outside where
various crystal varnishes were referenced. I suspect that is what you
need and that the Ronseal is not as clear as it might be. IIRC you need
a crystal or blond varnish if you really want to cover such a light
colour with no tint. Unlikely to be cheap though, its probably best to
just paint them but be resigned to touchups now and again. Slightly more
work maybe but less heartache.
