    Which water based poly finishes do you use?

    I am used to using either the Arm R Seal & Seal a Cell or BLO/Behlens Rock Hard Varnish...all wiped on. I would like to move to water based for my next project but have not used any in the past. I was wondering what water based poly finishes you folks use, how you apply the finish and if you...

    BLO and Poly

    Perhaps this is too simple a question for most folks but I've only started using BLO. Can BLO be topped with polyurethane finishes. I'm using the BLO to "pop" the grain, and now want to put a gloss poly over it. Any problems doing so? Jim

    Slow drying poly

    Shellac under poly

    I have some maple tables I was planning on putting a clear coat of shellac on them, followed by a couple coats of satin poly. I was reading the label on the shellac, and it said "not recommended as a sealer under ploy" or something like that. Am I getting ready to mess it all up? Any other...

    Poly Resin Pen

    I finally found a few minutes to do a little turning. This is a Berea Cigar kit in Black Chrome. The material is from the first attempt at mixing poly resin, that LOML and I did a few months ago. Thanks for looking. Merry Christmas to all the great folks on NCWoodworker from our home. ken
