Finishing Floorboards

[Misty123]

Hi all

Can anyone reccomend how we should finish our newly laid floorboards?  Do we stain them first then clear varnish or is there a stain & varnish product like we have in the UK?  We looked in Brico but they don't have the same sort of range that we have in the UK and I am totally confused about what we should do.

Also, are we allowed to take varnish in tins on a flight?

Thanks for any advice.
