    Matte vs gloss

    I thought I've read where gloss finishes are clearest. For both oil and water based poly I've been using matte, and then wet sanding and polishing for a smooth and shiny surface. I rub with 0000 wool if I want to tone down the gloss. It's time to restock both finishes, is there an advantage to...
