Hey fellow woodworkers, I need a little help please. I recently stripped my fir stairs and applied some clear fir board and batten paneling up the sides and landing. So far I am very happy with outcome, but now the hard part...

What would be the best product and application method of a "clear coat" over the stained fir board and batten and the stairs themselves? I have used polyurethane in the past on many projects and was never truly happy with the end result. I also found it a little difficult to apply on vertical surfaces as it tended to run slightly. Oils, varnishes, wipe-ons, varnish/oil blends, hard wax oil, poly, etc etc?

Any recommendations? I value each and every opinion that comes from "trial by error" method.

 

Thanks,

Jaret

I tried to add a picture, but it would not work. If you tell me how I will attempt again.

Yes, in Addition to the wall panels, the stair treads, risers etc.

 

Thanks so far.
