There's a box in my parents porch that is used for parcels, or items that
are too large to go through the letterbox.

Well, the lid needed a new coat of varnish, so stripped the old stuff off
using Nitromoors, gave it a sanding, washed over the surface with a sponge
to clean off any residue, then gave it a few coats of Ronseal woodstain
(that stuff you apply like paint and it dries like varnish)

All seemed well for about a fortnight or so, then bubbles/blisters started
to appear in the varnish/stain, as if there was still some stripper in the
woodwork.

So, used a scraper and sandpaper to get rid of the bubbles, gave it another
wash with water and left overnight to dry, then repainted with more
woodstain.

Again, everything fine for about a fortnight, now its started blistering
again from underneath.

This is getting to be a pain, I didn't think stripper would stay active for
this long. Any suggestions as to how to prevent this happening again?
