## Questions & Answers

**Q: what the difference between this and the polycrylic??**
A: I use both for different reasons. This oil base is more durable against wear and water rings than polycrylic for things like table tops and countertops. It is easier to get a smooth finish when brushing because it dries slower and flows out flatter. It WILL impart a warm, yellowish finish that is visible on lighter woods, and it will create a darker patina with age. It gives a warm, amber glow to medium or dark wood finishes. This quality may or may not be desirable. It usually only requires two coats. Use it for durability, a warm, aged patina, and ease of application towards a smooth finish. 

Polycrylic is not as durable and can show "elbow wear" on table tops after a few year. It will stay crystal clear on white woods, but can impart a milky sheen on darker woods. It dries fast, so you can sand between coats much quicker than oil. However, that can make it tricky to brush it on and get a smooth finish, especially if you brush back over it when it gets tacky. It requires minimum of 3 coats, 4 for long durability. on wearable surfaces Use it when you need a crystal clear finish on light colored woods, and fast drying between coats is desired.

**Q: Will it be very shine and smooth for the surface after I use? thanks**
A: Yes.  I recommend first using a 600 grit sandpaper to lightly remove old finish. Remove all dust with a damp cloth, and then lightly spray on first coat (Thin coat best). 

Wait 24 hours to dry. Next lightly sand using a 1500 grit sandpaper, remove all dust with a damp cloth, and then lightly spray on first coat (Thin coat best). Repeat this step two more times. Glass feel may require additional applications. Remember thin coats.

PS: If you choose the brush method, do not use sponge brushes since it is more likely to leave bubbles, use a good quality sable hair brush. I did a bar top decades ago applying clear polyurethane with about 20 thin coats in the first year about once every other week and I left a penny at the end of the top and coated over it until it disappeared ant the bar top was so smooth. The top was red mahogany that is probably still a luster for the new owner. I could slide a bear from one end to the other end.

**Q: Can this be used on floors?**
A: Yes, this oil based polyurethane fast drying is absolutely engineered for hardwood floor and definitely in high traffic areas. I used the water based polyurethane in the dining room and this is the hallways, this looks so good and is holding up better than expected.

**Q: what is the best way to apply this**
A: Use a bristled brush. Those sponge brushes leave bubbles in it.
