How to Protect Your Wooden Furniture – Tips For a Lasting Finish
So, you’ve sanded, stained and stepped back to admire your latest wood project - now what?
Whether it’s a piece of furniture you’ve revived, a fresh set of wooden shelves, or even a garden bench that’s seen better days, the final step is one you don’t want to skip: protection. A good topcoat not only enhances your finish, but also helps your hard work stand the test of time - especially if it's going to live outdoors.
Why you need a topcoat
Wood stain brings out the grain, the colour and the natural beauty of your project - but it doesn’t protect it from daily life. Things like water rings, scuffs and UV exposure can ruin all your efforts. That’s where a topcoat steps in, sealing everything in and giving your finish a fighting chance.
For outdoor projects in particular, it's essential. Rain, sun and temperature changes can take a toll on untreated wood. But don’t worry - Titan Topcoat is more than up to the task.

Applying Titan like a pro
To get the best results, follow these quick tips:
- Prep is key – Make sure the surface is clean, dry and dust-free before you apply.
- Use a synthetic brush or foam roller – These give the smoothest coverage.
- Stir gently – Avoid shaking the bottle as this can introduce bubbles.
- Thin, even coats – You can always add another layer if needed. Two coats are generally ideal.
- Dry time – Let each coat dry thoroughly. Titan dries quickly, so you won’t be waiting long.
- For outdoor use, make sure your base stain or paint is suitable for outdoor conditions before applying Titan.
Keep it looking good – rain or shine
Outdoor pieces face a lot more wear and tear than indoor ones, so giving them that extra layer of protection is key. With Titan Topcoat, you’ll not only preserve the beauty of your wood but also help it weather the seasons (literally!).
From garden furniture to indoor projects that need to stand up to everyday life, Titan is the reliable, easy-to-use finish you can count on.
