I have a bran-new picnic table. It is made out of fur. So far I have one coat of an oil base exterior stain on it. In Wisconsin we have very extreme weather conditions; would it be okay or recommended to use a varnish or lacquer finish on the picnic

I purchased eggshell finish by mistake instead of flat (which my other living room walls are). Will it look odd to have one wall with eggshell and the others flat?

I have a problem with paint peeling on flat surfaces of my house, such as window sills & a door threshold. How should I prepare this area so that it will hold paint?
