I have just purchased the Specrite timber multi use pine panel and I want to put a clear coat over it. I want something that'll prevent food and drink from staining it if it gets spilt. Please let me know if there is anything you recommend.
Thank you 
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Macayla. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about coating a Pine panel.
For your Specrite Pine panel, I recommend using the water-based version of Cabot's Cabothane Clear. This water-based polyurethane offers the same durable protection as the oil-based alternative but comes with several added benefits.
Water-based Cabothane has very low odour, making it much more pleasant to work with indoors. It also has easier cleanup — just use water rather than solvents, which is both convenient and environmentally friendly. Additionally, water-based finishes tend to dry faster, so you can apply multiple coats in less time and get a smooth, protective finish that resists spills and stains.
This finish is ideal for surfaces like kitchen benchtops or tables where you want a clear, natural look while ensuring easy maintenance.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
