Did you use this on the inside as well? Where did you get it?

Yes I used it on the inside also. I stained the wood first then sealed it with the diamond finish. I think I got it at Home Hardware in Kelowna but any of the large hardware stores should carry the Flecto line (Rona or Home Depot).

There is also a product that is white, I believe it is called "Killz"?
