I agree with the others on the virtues of Wipe-On-Poly. However, I make small boxes and like bright finishes. This finish requires rubbing down. The varnish dries in layers and the rubbing process often goes through the outer layer which will show on a mirror finish. Shellac will not do this as each layer fuses. It is very discourageing to spend several days building a finish to have it ruined by rubbing down.
