    Great tips Kristin. I've a wicker settee that I need to finish refinishing this Spring. I hadn't heard of the Helmsman Spar Urethane. I'll be sure to get some since this piece will most likely be out side at least part of the year. I'll have to have hubby finish though since I can't use oil based products do to allergies.

    That's a beautiful piece by the way. Is it antique or at least vintage?

    Wow I am so happy to have found your post! I was given a beautiful wicker sofa, but it needs some work. I've been very hesitant to begin because I wasn't sure how to seal it. I was even considering passing it on to someone else! Not now!! Your project turned out beautifully. Love the cushion!!
