I am a fan of the Osmo products, and used a dreedle in the arse of a can to do the saddle boards.(which I had removed) but her will not pay that sort of money.

She is ogling a fancy Italian handbag though, but that would be classes as an essential purchase you understand!

I guess she will learn in time to come. Pay now and save later. You can remind her of the Osmo again when she's paying to have the polyeurathane sanded off as it's peeling from around the nail heads

Osmo poly x.
Don't waste your time with polyurethane on an uneven surface with metal in

Quite wrong, she has bought 2 houses already without our help, and anyway, why should I not indulge a hard working  daughter.

I was referring to you paying for the osmo and your lass getting her italian hand bag. My girl does me like a kipper all the time and i love helping her as she works really hard.

Osmo Poly x appears to be the clear winner then.

I will attempt to broach the subject tomorrow then.

Thanks all.

I've used osmo polyx high solid with great success. Polyeurathane in my experience is good until it goes wrong like you scratch it or mess a bit up. You can touch up Osmo as it's more like an oil. It also won't have issues with metal heads 

+1 for Osmo!

If you get a piece of wood, do a test with her on how easy application is. Osmo a baby could make it look good and repair a scratch etc. Polyurethane needs much more care and cant be satisfactorily repaired easily.
