Good video. I refinish for a living and miniwax has the best polyurethane for the money. Dries 2-3 times faster then varathane and others. The best advice for DIYers is speed and don’t go back over an area you’ve already done. You want to be spreading tons of the finish on top as you go and pulling it level. Airplane landing and taking off brush stroke for the last strokes on that area. Lastly like he does wipe up drips on edges I usually make two passes. Immediately after finishing a section and then lastly all the way around. Never try to brush or add more poly to an area that has been sitting for more than a few minutes. It will pull it back up and you won’t be able to recover until next coat. Get a good light source pointing towards you like a desk lamp. It helps to see reflection and all the imperfections. You’ll need it after that first coat.

Hey nice video and you were bang ON with the issues that many of us face, I need your help and yes have gone through all the 200 comments below but it’s not discussed anywhere. So here I am refinishing my dinning table and I have already done 2 poly coats and yes followed your method of wet sanding and knocking of the bumps, I am using water based Varathane triple coat poly and I am no where close to glass like finish as of now, I also read in one of your comments that it’s not possible with water based poly. I would really appreciate if you can please help me as this is a very precious table for my family and I really want to bring it back to life.
@DeanFurnitureArtist
@DeanFurnitureArtist Жыл бұрын
Yeah I don’t like the triple thick poly at all! It’s so hard to work with. If you want it to look like the top you see here you need to strip it back down and use oil base. Water base is going to look like plastic when oil will look like glass. I wish I had a better answer for you since I know you have put so much work in already.

I was looking for tricks I could use on guitar clear coats. On a guitar it's common to sand and polish, and sometimes wax and / or oil after the last coat of poly. The reflections go from blurry to razor sharp like looking in a mirror. From where you stopped, I'd wet sand with 2000, then buff with Turtle Wax polishing compound on a foam pad on a drill, then hand wax and polish with Johnson paste wax, then rub down and polish with mineral oil. If you can prevent contaminants, you don't need to sand between coats. You just have to build up enough poly to not sand through it when you sand it level at the end. Just build up your coats, sand it flat, sand to 2000 or so, polish, wax, and oil.

I've been trying to do my coffee table, first time I didn't sand in between coats. Then I used 220 on an orbital between coats and got swirl scratches. So the wet sanding, lightly in grain direction makes sense. Time to sand it all back down and try again.

220 is very aggressive - only necessary if you have a seriously rough surface, or a major defect to remove. You'll need to work your way up through higher grits if you're going to get out the scratches that it leaves behind. Use 500, then 1000, going with the grain on the 1000.

Dry sanding with 800 or 1000 will just clog up the sand paper with in a few seconds of sanding.

Despite how well polyurethane works... there's no substitute for surface prep. While I like the wet-sand method on the clear coats... I DEFINITELY would have taken the wood finish down, smooth, before I sealed it. Not trying to nitpick... I did notice some surface inconsistency while the sun glared on it. And I couldn't live with that. (That's just the way I am. Nothing personal.) No amount of clear coating can cover that up. However... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If the finished product makes you happy, you did it right. Thanks for the upload.

It really depends on your type of wood and the surface but most times 220 is the best before stain. Anything finer can sometimes make the surface to smooth to hold stain well. But again depends on the type off wood, what has soaked into the wood previously and how dry the wood it. Some may need prestain as well to not look blochy.

You can wet sand it and see if it takes all the bumps out. If not you may have to go a little more aggressive with the grit then go back light grit then poly again.

I once had a girlfriend that bought a 1979 black Oldsmobile Cutlass brand new from the dealer. In her driveway, I wet sanded that new factory paint job. It was acrylic paint, and at the time auto manufacturers did not do any clear topcoat, just the pigmented acryllic paint. Sanded with wet/dry paper all by hand. Reason is that it had fisheye, which is a term that means uneaven glob like paint. It just wasn't smooth under a microscope, or the naked eye looking real close...it was just bumpy paint. And because it was bumpy, it diminished the shininess of the finish...it lessened the otherwise mirror finish. Next step I buffed it with a Black and Decker 7 inch polisher, with a lambs wool pad with light grit polish. That gave it real shine, but because it was black you could still see some swirl marks, so the next step, I used what we called Liquid Ebony for black paint jobs that took away the swirl marks almost. Last and final step, I hand waxed the whole car to eliminate any evidence of swirll marks from the Liquid Ebony. Hand wax, and take off by hand. It looked like a $10,000 paint job. Definitely not a factory finsih any longer, and it was a mirror like finish you could see any color clothing in it's reflcetion, just like a mirror. The paint was a black mirror, and so many people complimented on that paint. You can't do that with clearcoat paintjobs today, and the clearcoat paint still has fisheye bumpiness under the clearcoat that you just can't reach. Sorry for so long a msg.

I have achieved a new car look with clearcoat that had been damaged by former owner using a dirty wash glove. The trick is to wet sand 600, 1200 and 3000 then use two levels of cutting liquid. An orbital buffer makes it quick work with the cutting liquid. You must be careful with the 600 and not sand any creases in the metal or you go down to the paint. I actually put painters tape over the edges and then blend the paint sanding job over the edge with the 1200 grit. You still must be very light or you can still cut down to paint. Try practicing on a hood or door you can pick up cheap from a salvage yard.

Great video and beautiful work. I have a question. If you are using polycrylic instead of polyurethane do you need to wait the full 2 week cure time to wet sand or can you do it once it is dry to the touch? I've got a piece that turned out really rough with brush strokes. I don't want to have to strip it so I thought I would try wet sanding the last coat and then putting on an additional coat with a sponge applicator instead of a brush. Any advice would help. Thanks!
@DeanFurnitureArtist
@DeanFurnitureArtist 2 жыл бұрын
Even with polyurethane you don't have to wait 2 weeks to wet sand. Dependending on weather a few hours to 24 hours. But yes polyacrylic dries normal in minutes. To be safe i would give it 30 mins then wet sand again depending on weather. If it is really cold or humid you may give it longer. Just remember gentle touch it doesn't take much to get polycrylic smooth.

I finish up with a 5000 grit wet sanding, then furniture wax and a polishing cloth. You can get an automotive-like glassy finish if you want to, but keep in mind what use the furniture will be put to. A kitchen or dining-room table top is going to have stuff put on it and pushed around on a daily basis, and a mirror finish will pick up (and show) a million tiny scratches. You're better off with a semi-gloss or satin finish on surfaces that will get this sort of use. A decorative table that's just going to sit there, with maybe a lamp or sculpture on it (on a cloth or felt pad), is a better candidate for a mirror finish.

It does not matter wet sanding but two very different looks and apply method. Water base will look more plastic while oil base looks wet or like glass. Water base also drys in minutes where oil base can take hours to dry and days to fully harden.

I hate putting top coats on. I always screw it up! I have the buffet from heck! I am using PolyAcrylic. Now I have brush marks. Or to me they look more like scratches. But I was hardly pressing on 1500 sandpaper with water/soap like you said. I actually applied it with a stain pad . I am not redoing it again! But I don’t know what to do. Maybe my lighting is too good so I see all my flaws. 😂
@DeanFurnitureArtist
@DeanFurnitureArtist 2 ай бұрын
The only way you could have scratch marks wet sanding with 1500 is if there was debris on the surface or the sandpaper. I always recommend applying with a brush. Put it on and let it settle. It has self leveling properties so the brush strokes disappear. Unless it’s to hot and drying while applying or you brush over it to much while it’s getting tacky. Applying to thin can also cause brush strokes due to the thin coat drying fast. Poly acrylic is great because it dries so fast but at the same time you have to work fast.
