Long time lurker here with not much of value to share but now I need some help. I'm buiding a cherry porch swing - maple striping on every-other seat slat. The porch is an enclosed deck and the swing will get little if any direct sun and only the moisture that blows throught the screens. I loooove the rich color of cherry and want to preserve it but I'm getting some conflicting opinions from friends and on the newsgroup. One is to use Penofin with UV blockers but I'll have to send for it. The other is to use Penetrol, the flow control additive for oil-based paints (?) which is a bit odd sounding but I don't know much. If someones suggestion stops the gray I just may smear it on my head too!!
TIA,
Chiz
