how to care for your tiki bar

Post by floodcityparrot »

I recently purchased a bamboo Tiki bar. What should I use to keep it clean. I have had it for 2 weeks and I am starting to see some mold due to rain and very high humidity. I was told to coat the bar with a few coats of polyurethane, but I need to clean it first.

Please help. :pirate:

What about damp clothes with disinfectant?

Than coat it up.

Actually if your gonna be keeping this outside--- I would stay AWAY from Polyurethane. I would recommend using a Spar Varnish. Spar Varnish is for exterior use, and will hold up longer too.

Maybe not you but I'm sure at least 50% of the people here may be a little distracted....

OK, so am I really the only one who thought something like 'take her out to dinner and buy her flowers".

Just thinking of you, JoAnn!!!
