Hi:
I tried the thinned dull polyurethane method with Fornby's and I could not escape areas that had too much finish, too little finch and the finish not flowing out to a smooth surface.. These products would not self level.
I tried 14,26 and 7 coat applications but I could not escape the lack of consistent coverage1 The best results that I obtained was by using a flannel patch wet with oil. This gave a coat that did flow out and self level but gave the "on the wood" look. Yes, I rubbed these applications with steel wool pumice etc. but still disliked the results.
I tried spray poly but I had a choice between runs and orange peel!
Keep the comments coming!
Stay well my friends,
