I'm seeking advice on what finishes to use on the Laptop desks I'm building. They're just a simple piece cut from 1/2" plywood, g1s. I also need to step on on the quality of the plywood, so I'm open to suggestions on this also.
What would you suggest to use for staining, and also for finishing? :dontknow: I went with what I had this time on the first 4 and used some MinWax Golden Oak and wiped it on.
For a top coat, I brushed on 3 coats of poly.
I dislike finishing, mainly because I'm not good at it. :thumbs_do I've heard good things about Target coatings water based products? :icon_scraYour opinions?
If there are better choices, please let me know. I plan to make several of these between now and Christmas. I realize this ain't "fine furniture" but I'm a complete rookie when it comes to finishes.
Will post a pic when I'm completely done with a couple.
Thanx.
