Satin will have some what of a shiny appearance. But if it's not consistent, then it might be best to sand down the project completely and recoat again.
4 hours between coats as directed. I used 220 grit lightly sanding between coats. I've never used steel wool before, so I couldn't say, but I know some finishers do on certain projects. Doesn't hurt to give it a try. You can always use a finishing wax and buff it in. That makes for a very smooth finish.
I don't believe I've tried it with that, so I'm not sure of the results it will yield, but give it a shot and share your thoughts here. Thanks for watching!
That I'm not sure. I would probably just clean it with a tack cloth to remove any dust. There is no need to use mineral spirits at this point. Since you already cleaned it, I'm assuming prior to sanding. You can get the cloth at local paint or hardware stores. Thanks for watching!
Yes, mineral spirits cleans, brings up the color, and noticeably darkens unfinished wood, for three months or so. It's not good for a cleaning before sealing.
It's water resistant to moisture but I wouldn't let water sit on it for too long as it may eat through the finish. Best to test it out and see how it holds up to water
Hey i need help on a project. I need a urethane that can stretch without flaking when dry, almost like a synthetic string. I need to apply to a string, a natural gut string. I need it to coat a natural gut string so it wont break when stretching. Ive try polyurethane oil, its a no go. It flakes and didnt become what i needed like a synthetic string. So what product of flexible urethane is good to apply to protect a natural gut string or what product is the right choice to coat the natural gut?
@@DRV_Woodworks YOU NEED TO HELP ME!!! Maybe it doesn't need to be urethane, I don't know what they put on the natural gut to protect the gut. I need something to coat the natural gut to be flexible enough to not flake. Like for example, try using a 🧵 threaded string for an example and coat that threaded string then do testing. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP!!! YOU SEEM TO BE THE EXPERTISE IN THIS!!!!!!!!!!
@TrumpforPresident24 Sorry bud, I've never applied urethane to a string. I deal with woodworking projects. I would have to do research myself on what you're looking to do. I've never heard of anyone applying urethane to string. Idk even know what a gut string is to begin with. 🤷 maybe look on reddit. You might find better results there
@@DRV_Woodworks I've looked into it already. Your my last hope. I need something that is flexible and stretchy. Bond onto the string well and don't flakes when stretched by 60 lbs. Please help me!!! 😭🙏 It's for a school projects. If I don't find the solution, my teacher will not let me graduate and I will get held back until you help me.
I used this in my garage today and now I’m paranoid about my cat and rabbit breathing this in overnight as it dries. (I wore a respirator when I applied it.)
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately oil based solvent products give off harmful vapors. It's not something I would expose animals to for prolonged periods of time. If it's in the garage and not coming into your house then you should be fine. I'm not an expert on vapors and what they can do so I couldn't say exactly what might happen. 🤷
@@DRV_Woodworks well my rabbits and cat were ok. 😅 I opened the big garage door a couple of times to air it out. It has been a week and the smell on the wood is almost completely gone.
Thanks for your comment. The results I demonstrated came out flawless. The foam brush isn't my favorite way to apply poly nor my topp choice but it was suitable on a small project, and it was one of my first videos so I wanted to start making content with what I had on hand. I do prefer using a brush over foam. I finished an entire 8' butcher block with the foam brush, and it came out great, so it's not so much in what you use but how you use it sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Can i use this over flood pentrol im doing a patina on motorcycle gas tank
Hi! just a question, how long should I wait for teak oil to cure/dry before applying oil based polyurethane?
Dude this was a super long video ago LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE
@@NasirDagamer21 super long ago but yet here you are! 😁
I don't know the dry times of your product, so I would consult that first. Once it's Cured, then proceed with the Poly. Thanks for watching!
Used satin finish...came out shiny in spots..any suggestions?
Satin will have some what of a shiny appearance. But if it's not consistent, then it might be best to sand down the project completely and recoat again.
How long did you wait for it to dry before applying the second coat?
Did you use steel wool to make it shiny? …Can/should you use steel wool?
Thanks.
4 hours between coats as directed. I used 220 grit lightly sanding between coats. I've never used steel wool before, so I couldn't say, but I know some finishers do on certain projects. Doesn't hurt to give it a try. You can always use a finishing wax and buff it in. That makes for a very smooth finish.
The can specifically says don't use steel wool
Could it be applied with a cloth instead? I have those and staining pads.
I don't believe I've tried it with that, so I'm not sure of the results it will yield, but give it a shot and share your thoughts here. Thanks for watching!
I planned on applying an oil based polyurethane overtop of BLO that I applied about 4 months ago. Should u do any special prep work?
BLO? When applying any new coat over existing coat always sand so that new coat has something to grip to. Tack cloth an vacuum dust.
hi! will the mineral spirits change the color if the butcher block was stained days earlier?
That I'm not sure. I would probably just clean it with a tack cloth to remove any dust. There is no need to use mineral spirits at this point. Since you already cleaned it, I'm assuming prior to sanding. You can get the cloth at local paint or hardware stores. Thanks for watching!

No sound? Why?
There's dialogue. Might wanna double-check your audio settings or use the captions
can this be used to finish out an electric guitar?
I'm not sure. I don't work on guitars. Might wanna search the best method for that. Thanks for watching!
also what stain color did you use? or is this natural?
Natural.
Can I ply this on engineer wood?
I'm not sure. I would consult with the manufacturer for further instructions on that. Thanks for watching!
How wide is the brush that you are using?
2 to 2 1/2, I believe been awile don't recall 🤔
Thank You!@@DRV_Woodworks
Hi , Is it water proof ?
It's water resistant to moisture but I wouldn't let water sit on it for too long as it may eat through the finish. Best to test it out and see how it holds up to water

You should change your thumbnail because it looks like a totally different product
Thanks for the advice. I did just that.
Awesome. Your gonna get a lot more views.

Sorry. This is a poor use and application of Polyurethane. If you are trying to help someone do it right. Education is important.
