In 1969 after my service in the military service I started college. Money was tight so I started looking for used furniture. I was given a formula for what is really home made wipe on poly. I used it for years. I then accidentally found Minwax wipe on poly used it for many years with great success. Went to HD to buy some and found out they do not sale it anymore. Found Watco wipe on poly and figured it would be as good as Minwax, wrong.
I am finishing a large oak table top damaged by a chemical spill. It needed to be sanded down to bare wood. First go round with Watco I used a cloth. It looked like crap. Sanded it back down and used china bristle brush. It looked like crap. Sanded it down again. Next I used a foam brush. It looks like crap.
Why did I not just use Minwax? Did not want to wait on estimated shipping date. Now that I have used it I am to stubborn to give up.
I really think the Watco is to thick. What can I thin it with?
