I cant use teak oil this time 'coz of flammability, so im thinking i will have to apply a matte varnish.. i think i will have to varnish only whats visible on the outside and apply a flame retardant penetrant to the inside.. anyone got any advice on finishing tikis where fire is going to be a feature? does this sound about right? thanks :)
