Hi all, new here. I just came to ask some advice about the coffee table I built a few yrs ago that I am finally coating.
I decided to go with a Polyurethane as I like the look of it on Jarrah & it's generally hard wearing & I have small children.
I was going to use Estapol brand but ended up buying a tin of FeastWatson poly & as per directions I sealed the sanded table with FeastWatson's Proofseal 1st.
The directions for the poly state to rub it on with a lint free cloth but having some experience with paints & varnishes I knew it wouldn't be sufficient. I also knew that being a poly it should self level & not leave brush streaks if done with a soft, fine bristle brush. So I brushed it on carefully & it all went to plan.
As the table top has some shallow lettering etched into it I decided against sanding it back after each coat. I was & still am really happy with it but after the 2nd coat I started thinking about buffing it to get a nicer finish.
My question is, how many coats would it require before I can buff it & should I expect to see a film of Poly on the surface or will the Jarrah keep absorbing it?
I only applied 1 coat of sealer before the Poly which in hind sight may have been a shortfall. So far I've put 4 coats of Poly on it & the last coat was put on pretty thick.
I can upload pics of that helps.
