Well guys I think this weekend I will put a finish on my interior cabin walls. I will try and take some pictures, but here is my question. I have 1x6 tongue and groove pine on the walls. 1x6 cedar in the bathroom and have cedar cabinets. I want to seal all of this off before we start moving in furniture. How does sand sealer sound and then a couple coats of polyurethane sound
What to seal cabin with ???? on inside

I used CWF (clear wood finish) on the 2x6 T&G and beams in the living room ceiling. That was a long time back and it still looks good. It is sold as a outdoor product but worked fine for me inside without any odor after drying.

Polyurethane may look great now, but in a few years when it starts peeling and flaking off it will be
a mess, or if it getts scratched.....
IMO you need a sealer that soakes into the wood and seals it like tung oil or such or maybe the
other product stated.....good luck......

I would recommend Deft Clear Wood Finish, which is a laquer finish. Very easy to put on, which even though it says brushable, you can put on with a HVLP gun for a lot better coverage.
Another product to use would be Penofin Verde, which in your case I would use the Natural. This is an oil finish, which is all that is needed. Actually any of the Penofin products could be used, the Verde just happens to be the new "No Odor" stuff.

We use poly in all of our houses and we have never had any peeling in over twenty years. It just has to be applied correctly. We stopped using sanding sealer after they changed the formula for greenie idiot reasons. When you do poly you got to use 120 grit sandpaper before the first coat after the first coat then use 220 to smooth out the finish before the second coat is applied. We are able to get two coats to shine and three coats look like a mirror. Then one thing that you need to realize is that clear poly will fade to a yellowish orange over time when put on pine.
