[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1222483, member: 560358"] Polyurethane - Minwax is good because it's 'thinned' as opposed to other brands, in liquid form it's best used if you wipe it on thin with a lint free rag. One coat, then do another the next day. You can try more coats depending on what look you are going for. I found that course woods like oak just look better with less coats of poly. You gotta try a scrap piece of wood. I prefer to wait a few days after staining before poly to ensure the stain has dried out. Depends on temperature. Thick polyurethanes are cool too but too thick and it sorta svcks, those are best for doing floors where you require a hard/thick finish. Alot of it is personal taste, no substitute for the experiment. There is another type called McGloskey 'Gymseal', goes on thick, it's glossy and it just takes months to harden, but it's pretty cool.. gym floor effect. Also, the thinner poly's also require months to harden. Curing time is fast, but hardening time is long especially if it goes on thick. [/QUOTE]
