Re: Having Trouble Finishing? Here's a Great Product

I agrre with Steve Schoene on this. Wiping varnishes are excellent with respect to speed of application and control of sags, runs and brush strokes. I generally use wipe on poly for protection of my furniture/cabinetry projects.

But I just do not like paying the price for a commercial product when it can be made simply by eyeballing a 50:50 mix, which is what I generally use. The varnish can be diluted with either mineral spirits or naphtha depending on the drying speed that is desired.

As a side benefit, I have found that diluting the concentrated poly into a wiping varnish helps to prevent it from skimming over due to oxygen exposure.

Re: A box of drawers

I think that it is wonderful that you entered this box, Gary. As I have said before it looks like a real winner to me.
