Any oil based stain so it soaks in not water based as it will peel
Or linseed oil would be better
Danish oil but that might be a bit slippery when wet
Places to get it would be any diy store or a Dulux Decorator Centre

Thank you for your reply. I put some linseed oil on my big ladder about a month ago and it made it very slippy. Do you know what I did wrong?

I bought some varnish but it says not to use on ladders that have been stained. Is it ok to use varnish on them anyway?  Very grateful for your thoughts. Dave
