Hi folks!! I think I have finished sanding,the white blemishes is filler but very slight, the brown ones is the glue and sawdust(mixed) Does anybody think that a dark varnish would hide the filler?? or would you recommend painting it. Any thoughts would be gratefully received as usual. cheers rob ps Hope you can see it ok  sandnesspeats attached the following image(s):

Its not there to hide anything, it is a fantastic finish in its own right.
Stain is an option perhaps but copper paint, never.

Hi Rob, £59.99 from the DeAgostini web site with free P&P. Sounds alot but you get approx 4500 tiles so it's 0.013p per tile. Just got mine deliveried this week small package but the tiles look good quality. Take a look here on my build dairy bottom of the page. Hope that helps .
