[TheForge] Cheap clear finish question

Fri Jan 11 15:43:27 2002

Just Opinion...

   Inside with controlled moisture.. sure.. spray poly. BUT...You
already have a great surface, it's not totally smooth, so, If you do a
good brushed polyurethane, it will stand up for a long time,
especially if you degrease it well...  and a quart of brushed poly
goes a lot further than a bunch of spray cans... Perfectly smooth,
Sure, spray it...
