Thread: Question for the PROs

Sammy and I like the Min-Wax rub on poly......three coats and rub with fine steel wool between coats.....nice satin finish

Thanks G. Wasn't sure what I needed to use

Just stain it the color you want then wait 24 hrs. And put the rub on poly on it....let dry between coats and lightly rub it down with fine steel wool between coats. Just rub the poly on with a rag.....easy to do and looks great.

I use to some finish called gym coat they use on gym floors, put on some tables and chairs still looks good and takes a beating

You probably need to do it the same as the tv stand you built. That way they'll match.

Haven't stained the TV Stand yet. Need to take it outside, fill in the holes where I drilled the screws in, then sand and stain. I have enough stain to do it. That's been my plan all along ATM. Just been busy with the pup. Thanks Jim, I'm kinda thinking the same poly I used on the kitchen floor at the old house will work great on the tables and TV stand

What finish is it, high gloss, semi-gloss, flat? What finish do you want on the table? If it's the same, go with it.
I like the hand rubbed finish too.

Don if you want a hard shinny finish that floor sealer will work great. That finish G is talking about is really nice also but you already got the other.
