RobGenFurn

I have been using this product for about 5 years and have had great success with it. I was having a problem when using it on large surfaces such as a table top. I found the pad would leave tracking marks. I solved this by taking a heavy napped paint roller and cutting it in half lengthwise, wrapping it in a food plastic wrap to prevent absorbtion, then wrapping it in a lint free cotton cloth and using it as the pad to apply the finish. I would apply eight coats with a light sanding between coats - 400 or 600 grit is all you need - and I would wind up with a durable, track-free finish.
I have been having difficulty locating the product lately and learned that the federal government is basically regulating it out of existance because of more stringent VOC standards. You would thing they would have more important issues to deal with. Water based poly doesn't come close to revealing the inherent beauty of the woodgrain.

I have been working with this product for about 5 years and have had great success with it. When using it on large surfaces I did have a problem with tracking marks from the wiping pad. I solved this by taking a heavy napped paint roller, cutting it to half its length (4.5 inches) wrapping it in plastic wrap to prevent absorbtion, then wrapping the half roller with a lint free cotton cloth and using it to apply the wipe-on finish. The tracking problem was eliminated and after eight coats, with light sanding in between (400 grit) you are left with a beautiful finish.
One difficulty I am having is finding the product - it seems that it is being regulated out of use by the federal government. You would thing they would have more important issues to deal with. Water based poly does not come close to revealing the inherent beauty of the wood grain.
